While adults understand the dangers of fallen power lines and electrical outlets, children do not understand when electricity danger is present. Young children are more at risk of serious electrical injury because of a negligent electrician or because they are a part of an unsafe electrical situation.

Electrical injuries suffered from a fallen power line or dangerous chords left unattended can be cause for a personal injury lawsuit and responsible parties could include:
- An individual
- The property owner or landlord where the accident took place
- The condo association or HOA
- If the incident occurred on the street, at a park or in a public area, the council can be held liable
- Your workplace
- An electrical company or contractor if they were negligent
