Attorney Ryan Fisher secured a seven-figure settlement for the family of a man fatally electrocuted while working with equipment that was supposed to have been de-energized before he began work.
Content:
A significant seven-figure settlement was obtained by Attorney Ryan Fisher for the family of a man who was fatally electrocuted while working with equipment that was supposed to be de-energized. Proper electrical safety procedures, including lockout/tagout protocols, are designed specifically to prevent this type of tragedy.
The failure to properly de-energize the equipment before the worker began his task constituted a serious and foreseeable safety violation. Lowe Trial Lawyers investigated the circumstances surrounding the electrocution, identified the parties responsible for maintaining proper safety procedures, and pursued accountability on behalf of the surviving family.
The seven-figure settlement recognized both the tragic loss of the worker's life and the responsibility of the parties whose failure to follow basic safety protocols caused his death. The recovery provided the family with the financial support they needed following their devastating loss.
