Baltimore Electrical Injury Lawyers
A powerful electrical shock can cause serious damage that goes deeper than a flesh burn. A powerful electrical current passing through a body can cause internal burns to vital organs, permanent heart and brain damage, or death.
Attorney Alan Legum is recognized nationally as one of the nation's most experienced and successful attorneys representing people who have suffered severe electrical injuries, or who have lost loved ones due to electrocution. With law offices based in Annapolis, Maryland, he has handled electrocution and electrical burn injury cases across the nation, including Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma and Delaware.
Who Can Be Held Accountable for Electrical Injuries?
Electrical injuries often result when the victim comes in contact with a power line that was not properly installed to protect the public from danger. Utility companies have a legal responsibility to protect the general public from wires and other high voltage electrical equipment. If a power line runs too close to a house or a transformer is not properly secured, the utility may be held liable for compensating injury victims. Other entities that may be liable for an electrical injury or electrocution include construction companies, power equipment manufacturers and building owners.
