Electrocuted at home .

On the 28 march MTN are laying fiber cables in my area . the contractor on site damaged my main electrical cable to my house . i did report this to them and the did not care . so from the 28 march when the cable was damaged my house kept on tripling the power. i called Out surence and the sent a electrician out to investigate why my power was tripping . he reported that due to the cable damage that was made was the course. i then spoke to the man in-charge of the contractors. he also did not care . on the Sunday night i was in the shower when i was electrocuted due to this . i was admitted to hospital ICU for electric shock. on my return home i disused this with the MTN man on site and now they decided to look where the damage was done . on Tuesday afternoon the damage to the cable was found. the cable was repaired and my house is now Safe . I need some one to take responsibility for this because there are hospital Bills and some damage appliances that need to be attended to.
