An electric company fail to install proper circuit needed to prevent electrical surges in a swimming pool light, which cause a death of a guest.

I had a case in another state that was similiar when a septic system was not installed correctly causing an electrical short and fire and killing an occupant of the home.  I represented the children of the decendent and the surviving spouse.  In order to understand the case a lawyer would need to interview the various witnesses and the decendent's family to determine how and if they could help. I would recommend that the decedent's family contact an attorney who deals in these types of cases in order to determine if they can help the family from a legal perspective for their loss of their loved one.  There are rules about when a case must be brought or you lose the right to do so.  I would encourage you to contact an attorney and schedule an appointment.  Typically, attorneys in this type of case do a free consultation.  I'm sorry for your loss.
