Stray Voltage Litigation Matters

A growing area of litigation concerns the safe provision of electrical and other utility and communications power. Because farm operations, especially dairy farms, have a combination of wet conditions and sensitive animals, the effect of even a small amount of voltage outside the power lines can be damaging or fatal, resulting in large losses of production and ultimately the death of the animals. Due to increasing understanding of the phenomenon of stray voltage in recent years, this field of litigation will continue to grow in the future. At Richard I. Diamond, P.A. we are ahead of the curve, already participating in substantial litigation on this subject. If you or someone you know has otherwise unexplainable losses in a farming operation, please contact us to discuss your options.
