A Southern California woman repeatedly shocked in her home by stray electricity from nearby power lines has been awarded $4 million by a Superior Court jury.

The verdict, reached Monday after a three-week civil trial in downtown Los Angeles, included $3 million in punitive damages against utility giant Southern California Edison.

After two days of deliberations, jurors voted 12-0 that Edison had caused a nuisance at the Redondo Beach home of Simona Wilson. The panel voted 10-2 that Edison’s conduct was negligent and 9-3 that it acted with “reckless disregard,” according to court documents. (A verdict in civil court requires only a 9-3 vote.)

Wilson, the mother of three young children, filed a lawsuit against Edison in 2011 after she was shocked by stray electricity pulsing through her bathroom shower head. The repeated electrical shocks are believed to have caused nerve damage in her hands and feet.

“We are thrilled,” Wilson’s attorney, Lars Johnson, said Tuesday. “Simona has been in a long fight, and Edison put her through a lot.”

In a statement released by Edison on Tuesday, the company said it “is disappointed in the conclusions reached by the jury and believes that the outcome is inconsistent with the totality of the evidence presented at trial.”

“(Southern California Edison) is reviewing the verdict and will determine its options, including whether to file an appeal,” the company added in its statement.

Wilson, who could not be reached for comment, moved out of her house in September 2011, after an inspector told her to “get out” immediately, Johnson said. She filed the lawsuit about the same time. She lost the home in a foreclosure in February, according to her attorney.

Edison built the house in 1960, Johnson said. It was located next door to an Edison facility known as the Topaz Substation, and the utility rented the home to employees before selling it. A former Edison employee sent a letter to Johnson prior to the trial detailing complaints similar to Wilson’s made by prior occupants of the house.

Residents in the area have long complained about electricity emitting from overhead power lines and from the substation. Reports of crackling sounds coming from overhead wires and snaps of electricity when residents touched their mailboxes were common. Many believed the electrical current emitted from the substation traveled through subterranean gas pipes.

During the civil trial, one of Edison’s expert witnesses testified that the electrical current residents felt was within “acceptable” levels.

“Edison still denies that there is anything dangerous in the area and denies that they did anything wrong,” Johnson said.

Edison officials insist the company worked with Wilson to resolve any issues with stray electricity.

“(Edison) believes its response to the concerns raised by Wilson regarding her home located near SCE’s Topaz Substation and its efforts to address those concerns were appropriate,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “The company also has cooperated fully with the investigation conducted by the Safety and Enforcement Division of the California Public Utilities Commission.”

Edison officials declined to offer further comment on the fixes it made to address Wilson’s complaints.
