When insurers delay, deny, or undervalue legitimate claims, injured workers are left paying the price. At Stanley Law Offices, we take immediate, decisive action to challenge wrongful insurance decisions and protect the full value of our clients’ electrocution injury claims.
Insurance companies often dispute complex cases, especially those involving long-term disabilities, multiple liable parties, or high-cost medical care. Our attorneys know their tactics, and we fight back with skill, strategy, and evidence.
Our approach to handling insurance disputes includes:
- Filing prompt administrative appeals to overturn partial or wrongful denials.
- Issuing detailed demand letters supported by expert damage evaluations and medical documentation.
- Filing bad-faith lawsuits when insurers mishandle, delay, or refuse to honor valid claims.
- Enforcing settlements in court to ensure full payment when insurers attempt to avoid their obligations.
If your insurance company is stalling, disputing coverage, or downplaying your injuries, we’ll step in immediately to hold them accountable and secure the compensation you’re owed.
Legal Deadline Management for NY Electrocution Injury Claims
In New York, personal injury claims involving electrocution must be filed within three years of the accident, while wrongful death claims carry a two-year deadline from the date of death. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to recovery, which is why timing is critical.

When the clock is running, our team moves fast to safeguard your case before crucial deadlines expire.

FAQs About Electrocution Construction Accident Claims in NY
What if there were no witnesses to the accident?
Yes. A no-witness electrocution claim can rely on site photos, records, and expert analysis. Eyewitnesses are helpful but not required to prove liability.
Can undocumented workers file an electrocution injury claim?
Yes. Undocumented worker injury claims in New York are allowed because New York labor laws protect all workers. An undocumented worker injury claim in NY follows the same legal process as any other construction injury case.
What types of evidence strengthen an electrocution injury claim?
Medical records, OSHA findings, site photos, and equipment inspections strengthen an electrocution injury claim. Strong electrocution injury claim evidence creates a clear link between the hazard and the injury.
Can I sue a subcontractor after an electrocution injury on-site?
Yes. You can sue a subcontractor for defective equipment, electrocution, or unsafe conditions. A claim against a subcontractor for defective equipment that caused an electrocution focuses on the subcontractor’s control over the hazard.
Will I need to prove employer negligence?
It varies. Electrocution injury lawsuit timelines depend on liability disputes, medical recovery, and litigation needs. A typical electrocution injury lawsuit takes from several months to over a year.
