Long Island Electrocution Accident Attorney
More Than 20 Years of Careful Preparation for Long Island Injury Victims
Electrical shock injuries can extend far beyond a visible burn. Contact with exposed wiring, power lines, energized machinery, or defective equipment may cause nerve damage, heart complications, brain injury, internal damage, or fractures from a fall. We represent people injured in work accidents on Long Island and investigate how the electrical incident occurred.
Prompt medical attention is important because the full extent of the damage may not be immediately apparent. A legal review should also determine who controlled the site and how the equipment was maintained, labeled, and used.

Legal Options After a Long Island Electrocution Accident
A workplace electrical injury may support a workers’ compensation claim. This employment-based system may provide medical benefits and partial wage replacement without requiring the worker to prove employer negligence.
A separate personal injury claim may be available if someone other than the employer contributed to the hazard. This type of third-party claim seeks to hold a non-employer party responsible when its conduct or defective product played a role in the injury.
Depending on the facts, potentially responsible parties may include:
- A property owner or manager responsible for unsafe electrical conditions
- A general contractor or subcontractor controlling part of the worksite
- A maintenance company responsible for electrical systems or machinery
- A manufacturer or supplier of defective tools, components, or safety equipment
- A utility or other entity responsible for power lines and electrical infrastructure
Construction, excavation, or demolition incidents may also involve New York Labor Law Section 241, which requires reasonable and adequate safety protections in covered work areas. We evaluate each available path rather than assuming workers’ compensation is the only possible remedy.
How We Prepare Serious Electrical Injury Claims
Our attorney, Gregory Goodman, brings more than 20 years of personal injury experience to each case. We have handled more than 10,000 successful cases across our practice, although past performance doesn’t promise a particular future result.
We prepare cases in-house rather than farming them out to other attorneys. Every claim is developed with the possibility that it may be presented to a jury. That preparation requires careful analysis of responsibility, injuries, financial losses, and the defenses that insurers and opposing parties may raise.
Direct Access to Your Attorney
Clients have ongoing access to Gregory Goodman throughout their cases. We provide regular updates, explain significant developments, and discuss decisions that could affect the claim’s direction.
Identifying Every Potentially Responsible Party
An electrical accident may involve several parties with different responsibilities, including an employer, contractor, property owner, maintenance provider, or manufacturer. We examine those relationships to determine whether a third-party action may exist alongside a workers’ compensation claim.
