The families of two teenage boys who were electrocuted when they touched an energized bridge in Dixon, Calif., have settled a lawsuit with the Solano Irrigation District for $14 million, according to a report by abc7news.com.

Jacob Schneider and Jacob Hourmouzus were attempting to rescue a dog that fell into an irrigation canal when they came into contact with electrified metal on the bridge.

The suit alleged that district workers improperly bypassed a circuit breaker that prevented electrical grounding, allowing the bridge to become electrified.

The boys’ families will receive $7 million each, according to Schneider's attorney.
