About this episode

This episode revisits Power Utility Claims, discussing liability and state differences in utility pole cases.

This week, join us as we revisit our episode on Power Utility Claims as a refresher! Original Air Date: October 1, 2021. Electric Utility distribution systems all work as part of a massive infrastructure transporting energy from Generator to End User. Whether installed overhead, underground, or a combination of both, these major structures could cause issue as much as they provide energy. Fire, injury or even death could be the result of a damaged power line. But who is at fault? On this week's episode, join Rebecca and Steve as they shed some light on how these utility pole cases differ from state to state, and who should be held responsible in the event of a mishap.
