Can I file a wrongful death action for my loved one’s death that was caused by electricity?
If an electrocution accident took the life of your loved one in Kentucky, you may be able to hire a lawyer and file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent parties to recover compensation and money damages to cover the following:

- Punitive damages – If the defendant’s actions were willful or if they amounted to gross negligence, then punitive damages may be recovered. (Ky Rev. Stat. 411.130) Family members will receive the remaining damages in the following order under Kentucky’s wrongful death law (Ky Rev. Stat. 411.130):
- If there is a surviving spouse and no surviving children, the spouse receives the entire amount
