Electrocution Injury Lawyers in New York – Serious Representation for Serious Injuries

Electrocution injuries can be devastating, leading to burns, neurological damage, cardiac arrest, and even death. Whether caused by a construction site accident, defective product, or exposed wiring, electrical injuries often result from negligence — and the consequences can be life-altering.

At O’Connor & Partners, PLLC, our experienced personal injury lawyers represent victims of electrical injuries and electrocution throughout New York, including Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Newburgh, and the Hudson Valley. We fight to ensure you receive full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What Causes Electrocution Injuries?

Electrocution and electrical injuries often result from unsafe conditions that could — and should — have been prevented. Common causes include:

  • Construction site accidents
  • Downed power lines or utility company negligence
  • Unsafe or exposed electrical wiring
  • Faulty appliances, tools, or electrical equipment
  • Improperly grounded machinery
  • Failure to comply with OSHA safety standards
  • Negligent property maintenance
  • Dangerous workplace conditions

Whether the liable party is a property owner, contractor, product manufacturer, or utility company, our firm investigates thoroughly to hold them accountable.

Types of Electrocution and Electrical Injuries

Electric shock can range in severity depending on voltage, exposure time, and point of contact. Common types of electrical injuries include:

  • Severe burns (external and internal)
  • Cardiac arrhythmia or arrest
  • Neurological damage
  • Respiratory distress
  • Nerve and tissue damage
  • Muscle contractions or seizures
  • Traumatic brain injury from falls or secondary trauma
  • Fatal electrocution

These injuries may require intensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and in some cases, permanent life adjustments. Victims may be unable to return to work or enjoy the life they once knew.

Electrocution Injuries at Work and on Construction Sites

Electrocution is one of the “Fatal Four” leading causes of death in the construction industry, according to OSHA. We frequently represent:

  • Electricians injured by faulty panels or transformers
  • Construction workers harmed by live wires or exposed circuitry
  • Day laborers working near overhead lines without proper protection
  • Workers electrocuted due to lockout/tagout violations or equipment failure

If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ compensation, especially if a third party (such as a contractor, utility company, or manufacturer) was at fault.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Electrocution injuries often lead to overwhelming medical costs, lost income, and pain that lasts a lifetime. At O’Connor & Partners, we fight to help victims recover compensation for:

  • Emergency and long-term medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation, therapy, and assistive devices
  • Lost wages and future earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disfigurement or disability
  • Wrongful death (for families of fatal electrocution victims)

We work with medical experts, vocational specialists, and life care planners to determine the full value of your claim — and pursue it aggressively.
