Electrical fires and electrocutions can occur in all Georgia, especially those with have industrial centers. Property owners, including business owners, have a duty to ensure that the electrical wiring on their property is not faulty. Did you know that electrical fires are among the top five causes of building fires that can result in serious and fatal burn injuries? The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IIBHS) reports that fires caused by faulty wiring often lead to more serious property damage and more substantial injuries than other types of fires. In addition to life-threatening fires that cause significant property damages, faulty wiring can also cause electrocution injuries.

If you or someone you love sustained injuries because of faulty electrical wiring, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.

​

• Discolored or worn out wall outlets

​

All of these warning signs can indicate that there is a short in the electrical wiring, that the wiring is damaged or worn, or that the electrical wiring was installed improperly.
