By the way, the "Good Samaritan" laws I've heard of on this end of the country are intended to shield from liability those who do their best when they intervene, not find them liable for not helping. The problem is, an electrician is a professional not a layman when it comes to knowing electrical hazards.

I'm sure automobile mechanics face the same thing when a person wants a bald tire patched, a tire changed when the brakes are worn out, and so forth. They usually list this as recommended work, do they not? My local garage has a preprinted place on their form for this very thing.

"Numerous other electrical hazards should be remediated promptly."
