When Workers Suffer Injury or Death Through Electrocution
Electrocution often happens when workers least expect it. A severe electric shock can happen in industrial settings, manufacturing plants, construction sites or even on the street. At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, our trial lawyers handle a broad spectrum of personal injury cases involving electrocution or electrical shock.
Regardless of where an electrocution occurs, attorneys at our law firm have the experience, knowledge and resources necessary to help a victim or surviving family member achieve the best possible results in Ohio courts. When necessary, we work with experts, including forensic pathologists, construction safety experts, electrical engineers and civil engineers, to analyze the facts of the case. We also investigate the scene of the accident. We take pictures and talk with witnesses while memories of the accident are still fresh in their minds.
People who have sustained serious injuries can depend on Friedman, Domiano & Smith to provide effective representation. We represent the victims of electrical burns, nerve injury, muscle depolarization, entered electrical shock, as well as families who have lost a loved one to wrongful death.

Following OSHA Safety Regulations to Prevent Electrocution
Personal injury lawsuits send a clear message: in order to put workers first, employers must follow OSHA safety regulations and proceed with care when the potential for electrocution is present. They should always treat power lines, wires and other conductors as if they are energized — even if they look to be insulated or inactive. Workers must also keep a good distance from overhead lines when operating bucket trucks, cherry pickers and other aerial lifts.
While a personal injury lawsuit or a workers' compensation claim cannot undo the effects of electrocution, it can help make the workplace safer for others in the future. It can also provide injured workers and their families with valuable resources needed to move forward with their lives.
