Shanin Specter: Pennsylvania public utility compelled to retrain linemen and replace defective power lines
Inner Circle member Shanin Specter of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, represented the family of a woman who was electrocuted by a falling power line in the yard of their home. As a result of his lawsuit, regulators at the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Enforcement Bureau decreed that West Penn Power be compelled to retrain their linemen, inspect their power lines, and replace their defective power lines. These improvements will undoubtedly contribute to the safety of the people of Pennsylvania.
