A: Under Pennsylvania work accident law, workers are generally barred from bringing negligence suits against employers for accidents which occur on the job. However, what many injured workers don’t know is that other contractors and companies may be sued for negligent conduct which contributed to the accident.
In electric accident situations, multiple parties can be held liable, such as:
- general/prime contractors,
- subcontractors,
- utility companies, and
- product manufacturers.
The single most important factor in determining success of an electrical accident case in Pennsylvania or New Jersey is proper, prompt investigation of the accident to determine what happened and what caused the accident.
