A water pipe bursts, flooding a Small Business Company utility room and tripping the circuit breakers on a panel in the room. Small Business contacts Tom, a licensed electrocution with five years of experience to check the damage and turn the breakers back on. Without testing for short circuits, which Tom knows he should do, he tries to switch on a breaker. He is electrocuted and sues Small Business for damages, alleging negligence. Small Business may have a successful defense to the negligence claim.
