REDONDO BEACH, Calif. — A Redondo Beach woman repeatedly shocked in her shower due to stray electricity has been awarded $4 million by a Los Angeles County jury, according to her attorney.
Southern California Edison was ordered pay $1.05 million in compensatory damages and $3 million punitive damages to Simona Wilson, the jury ruled Tuesday.
Wilson and her three children were living in a home on Knob Hill Avenue next to an Edison substation when she was first shocked, her attorney Lars Johnson said. The residence was originally built by the utility to rent to its employees, Johnson said. The stray electricity allegedly left her with nerve damage in her hands and feet, according to her attorney.
