How Our Wisconsin Electrocution Lawyers Can Help You

If you were seriously injured, or if a loved one has been lost due to an electric shock in Wisconsin, you need an experienced electrocution accident lawyer who knows how to get you and your family the fullest compensation and money damages you and your family are legally entitled to.

Because electrical cases are highly specialized and very complex, only an experienced personal injury attorney with a proven track record of standing up to the public utilities and power companies can get you the maximum settlement for your Wisconsin case.

Attorneys Jeffrey Feldman and Chris Stombaugh are different. Jeff has handled more electrocution and electric shock cases across the country during his 35 years of practice than almost any other lawyer, including in Wisconsin. Chris is known as one of the top trial lawyers in the United States.

  • Jeff was so compassionate toward me and my husband at the time, and pretty much anybody involved. He just had a way of making you feel comfortable with him. We just really struck up a rapport with him, and it was genuine. He was genuinely concerned about this happening and felt that he needed to fight for us.

    - Loretta Balotta, Former Client

  • Electrocution cases are a niche. Defense experts for utility companies are the best in the U.S. and it takes an expert to fare against their seemingly unlimited resources and power. The cases are so labor intensive and require you to work around the clock, as the defense team can be up to six or seven attorneys. Jeff brings the intensity those cases require.

    - Rick Arcaro, Attorney

  • I met Jeff about 40 years ago and during that period of time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with him on cases, so I’ve had the opportunity to see how he works. He’s very, very specific in what he does. He’s very good at what he does. He delves into all the medical and all the liability issues. He’s somebody that I believe personally is one of the smartest, most conscientious attorneys in the State of Michigan.

What type of compensation can I get for my injuries after an electrical accident in Wisconsin?

Our experienced Wisconsin electrocution accident lawyers will fight for you to ensure that you recover full compensation for your injuries and your economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages. A settlement that reflects the true value of your case will include compensation for the following:

  • Pain and suffering (WIS JI-CIVIL 1768)
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Worry
  • Distress
  • Embarrassment
  • Humiliation
  • Loss of the ability to enjoy the normal activities, pleasures and benefits of life
  • Past and future health care expenses
  • Past and future loss of earning capacity

An electrocution accident lawyer can recover punitive damages under Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. 895.043) from a negligent party if he or she “acted maliciously toward” an electric shock victim or “in an intentional disregard of the rights” of the victim. The purpose of making a negligent party pay punitive damages to an electric shock victim “is to punish” the negligent party or to deter the negligent party “and others from engaging in similar conduct in the future.” (WIS JI-CIVIL 1707.1) However, the amount of punitive damages that can be awarded is limited to either twice the amount of any compensatory damages or $200,000, whichever is greater.

The factors that affect the dangerousness of an electric shock include: (1) the electric current’s amperage, (2) the path that electricity took as it passed through a person’s body; and (3) the amount of time that a person is exposed to or made contact with the source of electricity.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one lost his or her life in an electrocution or electric shock accident in Wisconsin, you may be able to hire a lawyer to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent parties. The damages that are recoverable under Wisconsin’s wrongful death law include:

  • Pain and suffering from the time of the incident up to the time that a loved one passes away (WIS JI-CIVIL 1855)
  • Loss of your loved one’s society and companionship (up to $350,000 if your loved one was an adult, and up to $500,000 if your loved one was a minor)
  • Loss of your loved one’s financial support and contributions (which is also known as pecuniary injury damages)
  • Loss of services
  • Medical expenses
  • Hospital expenses
  • Funeral expenses

Punitive damages are not available in wrongful death actions in Wisconsin.

A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed by the personal representative of your loved one’s estate or one of the following surviving family members:

  • Spouse or domestic partner
  • Children or grandchildren
  • Parents
  • Grandparents
  • Siblings

How Do I Choose The Best Lawyer For My Wisconsin Electrocution accident?

Choosing the best lawyer for your Wisconsin electrocution accident case can be challenging, especially with so many attorneys spending big dollars to get in front of you and claim they can handle it. Look past their inflated sales pitches and focus on substance. The top 4 qualities your electric shock attorney needs to have are: (1) significant experience in this area of law, (2) specialized knowledge and skill in handling these cases, (3) a track record of winning full compensation settlements and trial verdicts, and (4) a reputation among the insurance companies that your lawyer actually tries cases and wins.

How much does an electrocution accident lawyer cost in Wisconsin?

If you don’t win, you shouldn’t pay a dime. Our electrocution accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means if we don’t secure a winning settlement or trial verdict for your Wisconsin case, then , you don’t owe us anything. No attorney fee and no reimbursement for litigation costs and expenses. You pay only after your case has been resolved. Our fee and costs are paid from the amount that we have recovered for you. You will never pay up-front costs. You will never be billed while your case is pending. And you will never be asked to pay anything out-of-pocket.

How long does a settlement take?

The amount of time it takes to secure your settlement depends on a variety of factors. The most important factors in determining how long your settlement will take are:

  • Your injuries
  • Your medical needs
  • Your ability to work
  • The attorney you choose
  • The defendant
  • The insurance company
  • Opposing counsel
  • Available insurance policies and financial assets
  • The venue
  • The judge
  • Discovery
  • Case evaluation
  • Mediation
  • Facilitation
  • Settlement conferences
  • Negotiations
