Case Details
Settlement for the family of an 18-year-old student who was electrocuted in an industrial accident at the Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades. Negligence claims were prosecuted against the school for failure to properly train and supervise, appreciate electrical hazards, provide appropriate safety equipment, have appropriate first aid training, and failure to have defibrillators present. As part of the settlement, improved safety standards were adopted by the school, including CPR and first aid training for students, installation of defibrillators, and provision of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for power plant workers. The school was also required to hire a top safety expert to audit practices and recommend safety policies.
Additional Notes
Settlement included mandatory safety reforms at the school.
