Case Details
Our client was mopping a common laundry room floor in a large apartment complex. As she mopped behind a coin machine, she lifted an electrical cord so that she could mop beneath it. Unbeknownst to her, the cord was frayed. While standing in water, she touched the frayed wire and was electrocuted. This terrible incident led to permanent injury to her arm.
Additional Notes
Both the building owner and laundry machine company claimed that they did not have any advanced knowledge of the frayed cord. After litigation, the insurers finally paid $240,000 in compensation.
