Pickleballer Sues City, Claims Electrocution During Pickleball Match at California Courts

Electrocuted at Pickleball - that’s what one California woman is suing the city of Chula Vista for after she leaned against a fence during a Pickleball match. An electrician had mistakenly connected wiring from a nearby light pole to the fence, electrifying the black chain-link fence with more than 100 volts of electricity.

The electric shock surged through her body, knocking Love unconscious. The force of the electricity propelled Love into the air onto the pavement, injuring her head, back, body and nervous system according to the lawsuit filed this week.
