Jeffrey H. Feldman
Electrocution Lawyer
About Jeffrey H. Feldman
Jeffrey H. Feldman is a well-known personal injury lawyer who focuses on electrocution cases across the United States. He has spent more than 35 years helping families whose lives were torn apart by electric shock and electrocution deaths.
Jeffrey has handled more electrocution cases than most injury lawyers in the country. He has also won several multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for clients who lost loved ones in these tragic accidents.
What drives Jeffrey is making a real difference in his clients’ lives and helping prevent future injuries and deaths. He does this by uncovering the careless actions and bad decisions made by power companies and holding them responsible. His work sends a strong message to companies that put profits before safety. It also leads to new safety rules that help protect others.
Jeffrey’s success comes from his deep knowledge of law, engineering, and medicine. As a child, he was exposed to major medical advances. His father was a doctor who worked with Albert Sabin to help develop the polio vaccine. When Jeffrey chose to become a trial lawyer, he was drawn to complex cases that required strong medical understanding.
In his first electrocution case more than 30 years ago, Estate of Caroline Marie Bell v. Detroit Edison Company, Jeffrey represented the family of a 5-year-old girl who died after touching a downed power line hidden under leaves after a storm in rural Michigan.
The multi-million dollar verdict he won in that case led to a public safety campaign. A famous NBA player appeared in ads warning children to “Look up for power lines!”
