 Elgin, Illinois, Electrical Power Line Injury Attorneys

Don't Get Hurt Twice!

Utility companies are highly regulated in this country. There are rules and regulations guiding how electrical lines may be placed and conditions under which they are inspected. Sometimes, however, these rules are ignored or poorly followed. If you (or a family member) were injured by an electrical power line injury, please contact an Elgin electrical injury lawyer at Juergensmeyer & Associates We are an established Chicago metropolitan area law firm with a 40-year history of representing the loved ones of personal injury victims.

By law, electric lines must be hung in compliance with state regulations governing how far they must be from sides of buildings, over roofs, and over roadways and driveways. Our experienced accident injury attorneys know that power companies such as Commonwealth Edison, Exelon, and the Illinois Power Company have duties to inspect them and to make sure that they remain in compliance when new buildings or roads are built underneath them. When these duties are neglected, that's where we come in.

People tend to believe that power lines are all insulated. This is not true, and people can suffer severe injuries, including severe first and second-degree burns, other injuries, even death when encountering these lines. If the power company has been negligent or careless in carrying out its duties, Juergensmeyer & Associates can assist you in recovering your injury damages.

Workers on the job may have workplace accidents if they encounter a live power line. Painters, crane operators, and construction workers, particularly, have to work in the vicinity of power lines and run the risk of being severely injured if regulations regarding the installation or maintenance of electric power lines have not been complied with.

If you (or a member of your family) has been killed or injured, or shocked in a power line accident, you need an accidents lawyer who is extremely experienced with power line regulation issues. Please contact the electrical power line injury lawyers at Juergensmeyer & Associates. We have extensive knowledge regarding the duties of power line companies to maintain and inspect their equipment.
