Representing Worker Who Suffered Electrical Burns at Demo Site

Arnold & Itkin has filed suit on behalf of a local man against a Dallas County electric company for failing to remove live electrical equipment from a demolition site.

The lawsuit alleges that the company negligently left energized equipment in place, creating a hazardous and entirely preventable danger for anyone who was working on-site. As a result of this failure, our client suffered serious electrical burn injuries that could have been avoided had the company simply followed basic safety protocols.

Electric companies have a responsibility to actively ensure that live equipment is de-energized or properly removed before demolition crews begin their work. To drop the ball on this safety measure is not just an oversight, but it is a choice that puts workers’ lives at risk simply to save time and money. Without proper accountability, companies like this will continue to cut costs at the expense of the workers who keep our communities running.

The work injury lawyers at Arnold & Itkin are committed to pursuing justice for our client, and sending a clear message that negligence of this kind will not go unanswered.
