Voltage you can't see.
Damage you can't undo.
Electrical injuries can travel through the body and damage muscle, nerve, and organs long after the shock ends. New Jersey utility companies, contractors, and property owners owe heightened duties around energized equipment. We hold them to it.
Utilities, contractors,
and owners.
Most NJ electrocution cases fall into three buckets: power-line contact (utility), construction-site equipment (contractor), and defective wiring in a building (owner/electrician). Each implicates a separate body of law and a separate set of standards.
The case starts
on day one.
Every electrocution accidents matter is treated as a litigation file from the first call — because that's what wins it.

NESC, OSHA, NFPA
and the duty they create.
Electrical work is among the most heavily standardized in the country. Standards violations are the case. We retain electrical engineers, IBEW journeymen, and NFPA-certified experts to translate the violations to a jury.
Utility, contractor, and product policies.
Utility company self-insurance is typically substantial. Contractors carry CGL. Manufacturers of defective equipment carry product-liability coverage. All three may apply.
What clients ask first.
I touched a low-voltage wire and felt fine. Why see a doctor?
Because electrical injuries can cause delayed neurological, cardiac, and muscular consequences. The medical workup is essential, both for treatment and for documentation.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?
Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
You don't see voltage.
You feel it for years.
