Case Study: Julio I. — Van Nest Bronx Construction Site Electric Shock Julio I., a fire suppression technician, was working at a construction site in the Van Nest section of the Bronx when he suffered an electric shock caused by faulty wiring concealed behind a wall panel. While preparing to connect fire suppression equipment, he came into contact with a live electrical line that had not been properly secured, labeled, or shut down. Julio immediately experienced pain, numbness in his hands, and disorientation. He was removed from the job site and advised to seek medical care. The employer initially treated the incident as a minor electrical exposure. Cass & Peters stepped in right away. Our legal team documented the unsafe site conditions, coordinated medical evaluations linking the injury to the construction work, and filed the necessary workers compensation paperwork. We secured wage replacement benefits and continued medical coverage while also evaluating whether a third-party personal injury claim was available due to negligent electrical work.
