About the Tesla Powerwall

What is a Tesla Powerwall? The Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed to store energy for residential/commercial use. The Powerwall helps property owners rely less on the power grid and maximizes the usage of solar power. Although the Powerwall is certainly highly efficient, its use comes with risks.

In this article, we will focus on the electrocution risk present with the wall battery.

Powerwall Battery Electrocution Risks: Understanding Risk Factors

Sure, the Powerwall is designed with advanced safety features, but it still carries the dangers of high-voltage lithium-ion battery systems. Ultimately, electrocution incidents can occur if the wall battery unit is improperly installed, poorly maintained, or damaged in any way.

Some of the risk factors for electrocution can include the following:

• Improper installation of the Powerwall by unqualified or reckless electricians or contractors
• Damaged wiring or connectors exposing live currents
• Water intrusion or moisture exposure (this may be a result of poor installation or lack of maintenance of the unit)
• Lack of proper grounding resulting in electrical instability
• Unauthorized tampering or DIY repairs that may compromise safety systems
• And more

Possible Injuries from Electrocution

Examples of some of the injuries that may occur can include the following:

• Electrical burns on the skin
• Internal tissue damage
• Cardiac arrest or cardiac arrhythmias from disrupted heart rhythms
• Nerve damage, leading to pain, possibly chronic pain, weakness, and numbness
• Neurological impairments due to electric shock affecting the brain (including seizures)
• Secondary issues if the shock throws the victim back (these can include falls, fractures, head trauma, etc.)

Possible Long-Term Complications Survivors May Face

Survivors of these incidents can face serious complications, which may include the following:

• Chronic pain from nerve damage
• Paralysis or muscle weakness
• Cognitive impairment, including difficulty concentrating, memory loss, or mood disorders, for example
• Permanent heart issues and lung issues if electric shock caused organ damage
• Increased risk of infections as a result of deep tissue burns

In general, electrocution injuries may require extensive medical care, which may include surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapy.

Can I File a Lawsuit?

Yes, you could have the right to file a lawsuit. More specifically, you could have the right to file a product liability lawsuit against Tesla. This is based on the concept of product liability, which makes manufacturers responsible for any injuries or other damages resulting from their defective products. Under product liability law, product manufacturers, like Tesla, are responsible for ensuring that all their products are safe for their consumers. They must thoroughly test and inspect their products to be able to identify and address any defects in manufacturing, design, and labeling that could ultimately lead to incidents that harm consumers. If a Tesla Powerwall is defective and results in electrocution, then Tesla could be liable and could be sued. Similarly, if the electrocution incident is fatal, surviving family members could pursue wrongful death claims against Tesla.

What other parties/entities could be liable? As briefly mentioned above, sometimes negligent installers, contractors, or repair companies can be responsible for creating the hazard. In these cases, these third parties could have liability. In some cases, these parties could share liability along Tesla.

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of your right to file a lawsuit for electrocution by a Tesla Powerwall, contact our experienced lawyers at the Kenmore Law Group as soon as possible. Our electrocution lawyers are committed to helping you get justice.

What Compensation Can I Receive?

If your electrocution lawsuit is successful, you could be entitled to receive compensation. The different categories of compensation that may be available for recovery could include the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Punitive damages
• Wrongful death benefits (including funeral/burial costs and loss of consortium)
• Legal fees
