Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of accidents and serious injuries across Texas.
When a property owner, manager, or tenant invites guests onto their premises, they have a legal duty to ensure the environment is reasonably safe—including protection from electrical hazards. This responsibility falls under premises liability law.
While many associate premises liability with slips and falls, the same legal principles apply to electrocution incidents. Property owners—especially those with swimming pools, spas, or outdoor electrical systems—must take proper precautions to prevent electrical shock injuries and fatal accidents caused by faulty wiring, ungrounded equipment, or exposed electrical components.
At The Law Giant, we represent electrocution victims and their families across Dallas. Our attorneys investigate the scene, uncover negligence, and pursue full compensation from those responsible for dangerous conditions. Contact us to learn what we can do for you today.

lectrocution incidents can happen suddenly and result in devastating injuries or death. Some of the most common causes of electrocution accidents in Dallas include:
Poorly maintained electrical systems—especially near pools, spas, or outdoor lighting—can expose guests to serious risk. Exposed wires, overloaded circuits, or corroded grounding systems can lead to electric shock injuries when touched directly or through conductive surfaces like water or metal.
If you unexpectedly fall into the water, your body’s first response is to panic. Water is a powerful conductor of electricity. When electrical equipment such as underwater lighting, pumps, or pool heaters are improperly installed or maintained, even a small electrical fault can energize the water and shock unsuspecting swimmers.
he absence of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)—devices designed to shut off power when a fault is detected—can turn a minor malfunction into a fatal hazard. GFCIs are legally required in wet or damp locations like pool areas, bathrooms, and outdoor outlets.
Property owners and managers are responsible for inspecting and maintaining electrical systems regularly. Failure to identify corrosion, frayed wires, or unlicensed electrical work could make them liable for resulting injuries.
Electrocution risks are often preventable through compliance with Dallas electrical codes and pool safety laws. When a facility owner ignores required inspections, fails to install GFCI outlets, or hires unqualified contractors, the danger increases significantly.
Property owners are not automatically liable for every injury on their premises. Under Dallas premises liability law, an owner or operator is only responsible when they fail to use reasonable care in preventing foreseeable hazards—such as faulty electrical systems.
A property owner may be liable for electrocution injuries when they fail to:
Children are especially vulnerable to electrical injuries around pools and fountains. Under Texas’s attractive nuisance doctrine, property owners may still be liable if a child trespasses and is harmed by an unprotected, hazardous condition like an electrified pool or fountain.
Depending on the circumstances, responsibility for an electrocution injury may fall on:
Public properties are often subject to stricter safety regulations. For example, public pool operators must ensure all electrical components comply with stringent safety codes. However, even private property owners can be held liable if they fail to protect guests from foreseeable electrical dangers.
Compensation for electrocution injuries depends on the severity of your losses and how the incident occurred. If a negligent party is found liable, you may recover damages such as:
If a loved one suffers a fatal electrocution, surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and the financial impact of the loss.
Dallas law also follows the principle of comparative negligence. This means that if the injured person contributed to the accident—such as ignoring posted warning signs—their compensation could be reduced based on their percentage of fault.
To build the strongest case possible, take the following steps:
You should also consult a Dallas electrocution injury lawyer as soon as possible. Texas only gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. The sooner you take action, the stronger your claim will be.
