Who can sue for an electrical accident?
Any person injured or the survivors of a family member killed by an electrical accident can bring a lawsuit if the accident was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another, or at least partially caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another. This is true whether the injured person or deceased family member was a minor or an adult. 2. What are my remedies if I am injured or a loved one is killed by the improper conduct of a utility company? Because of the high risk of serious injury or death from escaping electricity, a power company or person maintaining electrical wires must use increased care proportionate to the danger. The electrical company has a higher standard of care because of the known danger of electricity. You will be able to recover for your injuries or death to a family member if you can establish that the utility company violated the expected standard of care in its electrical operations. 3.
