Proving Liability in Long Island Electrical Shock Accidents

If you have been talking to attorneys about your personal injury litigation options related to electrical shock injuries, make sure that the lawyers you're considering have experience with the proof of liability in complex cases that can be expected to turn on technical evidence.

Most electrical injuries and electrocution deaths occur in workplace situations, or during remote installation or repair jobs along a service or maintenance route. It is not always clear who was responsible for marking circuits correctly, making sure they were turned off for service, or even for preparing accurate warnings and voltage labels.

At Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, our personal injury lawyers are experienced with the investigation of liability issues in workplace accidents involving electrical shock injuries. We know that potential defendants are likely to blame one another or the plaintiff for the severe burns or fatal injuries that often result from badly installed wiring, poorly maintained transmission facilities or undisclosed risks.

Is Workers' Compensation Your Exclusive Remedy for an Electrical Shock at Work?

Some workplace electrical accidents that would otherwise be covered exclusively under New York workers' compensation law turn out to have resulted from defective design, manufacture or instructions with respect to industrial machinery or equipment. Our experience with product liability litigation can help you prove a claim for personal injury damages against the manufacturer or distributor while you are collecting benefits on a workers' compensation claim.

Because of our law firm's successful track record in complex injury litigation, we have the resources to advance the expenses of investigating and proving accident claims that depend on expert analysis and support, as many electrical shock cases do.
