New Jersey Electrocutions Lawyer
Electrocution Death Claim Law Firm
Among all of the potentially fatal hazards that workers are subjected to in industrial job environments, electrocution hazards can be one of the most dangerous and least predictable; this is due, in large part, to the unseen threat of high voltages and large electrical current loads associated with heavy machinery and other industrial manufacturing equipment.
Modern industry relies on electricity to produce goods and build the residential and commercial buildings that the economy needs to remain healthy. It is because electrical service is so essential to modern life – both in our homes and industrial settings – that everyone is at some time during the day exposed to potentially deadly shock hazards.
For most people, however, the risk of electrocution is relatively low, though still potentially dangerous. However, for others, such as electricians, plant engineers, electronics technicians, high-tension line workers, factory employees, and construction workers, exposure to high voltages is not uncommon.
Industrial Electrocution Accidents On The Job
Electricity in the home and workplace has become such a ubiquitous part of daily life that many people fail to give serious thought to the detrimental effects of contact with high voltage. More importantly, though most professionals are trained to work safely around electrical devices and power sources, there are instances when even a seasoned worker can end up being fatally injured by electricity due to failure of his or her employer to provide required safety mechanisms or procedures.
Sadly, when unprotected high voltage is encountered by a factory employee, construction worker or power company lineman, the results can often be fatal. If a loved one has been killed while on the job as a result of an electrocution accident, our experienced team of workers’ compensation lawyers can help the victim’s surviving family members recover death benefits under New Jersey law.

High Risk Of Electrocution Deaths For New Jersey Shipyard Workers
Not only do plant employees and construction workers face electrocution risks on a daily basis, but New Jersey’s port employees also face an even higher risk of electrocution-related fatalities due to the close proximity of water to the working environment. New Jersey’s large shipyard workforce faces these serious hazards on a regular basis.
Our New Jersey electrocutions lawyer understands that the potential for electrical shock is much greater for those workers employed in shipbuilding and maritime repair. Metal decking and near-constant wet working conditions only serve to boost the risk for electric shock injuries and possible electrocution deaths among workers in the shipping industry.
About New Jersey Worker's Compensation Lawyer
It is important to have a New Jersey workers compensation attorney review your claim as soon as possible to see that you are being treated fairly and to ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries. Our injury attorneys do not charge a fee unless we make a recovery on your behalf.
New Jersey Industrial Accident Deaths Resulting From Electrocution
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in Washington, D.C., approximately five percent of all fatal industrial accidents involve electrocutions. Although the frequency of electrical-related fatalities is relatively low on a percentage basis, the risks and potential for death as a result of an electrical shock is nonetheless serious enough to merit serious consideration by any employer.
When a New Jersey electrocution workplace accident results in the death of an employee, the victim’s surviving spouse and other family members should be entitled to death benefits based on New Jersey law. The experienced attorneys at our firm, New Jersey Workers Compensation Lawyer, are of the opinion that workers’ compensation death benefits will not usually be forthcoming unless the survivors file a formal claim petition.
All New Jersey employers must carry workers’ compensation insurance (except for some companies covered by federal programs). Because workers’ comp insurance is a kind of “no-fault” program, benefits will be provided regardless of who caused the accident that led to the victim’s death. However, our law firm has never heard of a situation where income replacement benefits were paid on behalf of a deceased worker without the survivor/claimant retaining a workers’ compensation claims attorney to prosecute the matter.
If you have lost a loved one as a result of a fatal on-the-job electrocution accident in Monmouth, Union, Essex, or any other New Jersey county or municipality, our death benefit claim lawyers can assist the surviving spouses and dependent children to recover benefits due them.

No legal fees will be charged unless we make a recovery on your behalf. We can help guide you through the claims process so that you can receive the compensation you are entitled to under the laws of the state of New Jersey.
