A laborer who was severely burned by an electrical box was awarded $7.7 million in damages.
In 2007, Marco Murillo, then aged 32, was salvaging copper cables from electrical boxes at a demolition site. Mr Murillo was working on one of the last boxes to be dismantled on the site when he was severely burned on both hands and forearms.
Oncor Electric Delivery had responsibility for the de-energizing the electrical boxes. As a result of his injuries Mr Murillo underwent skin grafts, had back muscles transferred to his forearms and nerves transferred from his ankles into his forearms.
A judge found that Oncor Electric Delivery was 60 percent liable and that three other defendants in the case were found 40 percent liable. Oncor is responsible for the entire award.
