What are the damages under section 7952 of the California Code of Civil Procedure when a plaintiff is injured in an electrical accident?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Pac. Gas & Elec. Co. v. Hart High-Voltage Apparatus Repair & Testing Co., 18 Cal.App.5th 415, 226 Cal.Rptr.3d 631 (Cal. App. 2017):

³ The first sentence of section 7952 states: "Any person who injures or destroys, through want of proper care, any necessary or useful facility or equipment of any... electrical... corporation, is liable to the corporation for all damages sustained thereby." (Italics added.) The second sentence specifies a broad measure of damages, which includes indirect or overhead expenses. Thus, the damages recoverable under section 7952 might be much broader than those recoverable under the negligence cause of action.
