When I click on the link I just get spammy adverts asking if I want an android security check and asking me to enable notifications, and saying viruses detected and to install virus cleaner.

This. Although I did as I didn't read the following comments.

I did the research for folks - nothing is mentioned anywhere other than Social Media (insta/FB/Tiktok etc) about this story of Caleb Ortiz, aged 17, being electrocuted in Florida nor of a $6.5m lawsuit (or any other monetary amount) won by his mother and the video is made of a selection of none related clips, with different times (day/night) for the same supposed event etc.

Seems like a video deliberately setup just to farm interaction from viewers more than an actual, real story, and it shows just how simple it is to be fooled by made-up stuff if you don't do just the smallest bit of research before you spread the story. It literally took 5 seconds to google "Caleb Ortiz 17 electrocuted" before checking the results, all of which are just this same video under 4-5 different SM accounts, nothing from local/national media anywhere.

Social Media is now so flooded with fake stuff, lies and of course AI, that it's put me right off and hopefully others will stop bothering too.

If there was ever something that summed up 2025 it's blindly getting your 'news' from a social media reel

I also couldn't find the story on a regular news outlet but wondered if, if true regarding the law suit win it was being hushed up but I guess not.
My appologies
