Electrocution cases can be difficult because the accident occurs quite literally at the speed of light. Unlike car accidents, there's no moment of recognition when the injured person or another witness can see the impact coming and can later testify about the conduct of each driver. Proof of liability in electrocution cases will usually depend instead on our lawyers' ability to investigate backwards from the moment of the electrical shock.
With the help of qualified technical experts, we work to reconstruct the chain of events that resulted in a missing warning sign, a faulty connection or the improper maintenance of an electrical component. This investigation can also point toward the party who's responsible for your injuries: a utility company, a manufacturer, an independent contractor or a previous owner.
In fatal electrocution cases, our familiarity with the details of wrongful death practice in both Louisiana and Texas can benefit families on either side of the border. When the victim survives the shock with severe burns or brain damage, our experience with the development and presentation of damages evidence will ensure that the full range of your losses and future needs will be presented to the jury for full compensation.
