Lightning Strike Injuries
Most people think that getting struck by lightning is an unfortunate, but random, occurrence. While getting struck by lightning is certainly unfortunate, some conditions may actually increase a person’s chances of being struck.
In many cases, individuals suffer lightning strikes on other people’s properties because those people fail to provide lightning-safe conditions. If this describes your situation, contact the Madison personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874 today.
Increased Lightning Strike Risks
Since lightning is a bolt of electricity, lightning tends to be attracted to the same things that attract electrical currents. In terms of what may be on a person’s property, lightning attractors may include:
- Metal structures
- Swimming pools
- Trees
- Tall structures
Property owners are responsible for the well-being of their guests, so in the event of a storm, property owners are responsible for getting people away from these high-risk lightning strike areas. Some properties, like those that are primarily outdoors, may not have many safe areas.
In these cases, guests are more likely to suffer lightning strikes. When an individual suffers a lightning strike, he or she may suffer electrical burns, cardiac arrest, nerve damage, or worse. In certain cases, property owners may be liable for all of these resulting injuries.
