Our lawyers can help New Yorkers shocked by stray electricity. Discuss your electrocution lawsuit with us.

Get a free review of your electrocution lawsuit when you complete the form below.

Each year, many New Yorkers are seriously injured by electrocution due to faulty or defective electrical wiring.

Over 400 people are electrocuted annually and, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 40 percent of those are consumer product-related electrocution deaths. If you are among the unfortunate victims, we may be able to help.

The lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. have the legal knowledge to evaluate electrocution and electric shock accidents.

These cases are often complex and can happen on a job site or on the street in your neighborhood. They can also involve the negligence of a third party - either through negligent conduct or a defective product.

We assess such cases in a through manner, investigating all factors that may result in the shock or electrocution of an innocent person. Stray electricity can cause ventricular fibrillation, or rapid, ineffective heartbeat, and can lead to death in a matter of minutes unless a defibrillator is used.

If you have been injured by an electric shock, please complete the form below for a free review. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss your injury case and potential electrocution lawsuit.
