Answer: Liability for power line incidents can be complex and depends heavily on the specific circumstances. While a utility company has a primary duty of care to install and maintain its lines safely, third parties can also be held liable. The key factors in determining liability often include:

• Negligence: Did a party fail to exercise reasonable care? This could be a utility company failing to repair a sagging line, or a contractor operating equipment too close to a line.

• Foreseeability: Was the accident or damage a foreseeable result of the party's actions or inactions?

• Compliance with Standards: Were all safety standards, such as the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), followed?
