A Florida law firm, Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Sosa, has secured a $4.45 million settlement for a construction worker who suffered severe injuries from electrocution at a hazardous work site. The incident left the worker unconscious and dealing with ongoing physical and emotional challenges.

Gerald A. Rosenthal, representing the firm, emphasized that the settlement highlights the critical importance of workplace safety enforcement. The compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing care needs for the injured worker.

For over 35 years, the firm has established itself as a leading Florida workers' compensation law practice. Their expertise spans personal injury cases, worker compensation claims, and wrongful death suits. The successful negotiation of this $4.45 million settlement demonstrates their proficiency in handling complex construction-related injury cases.

Electrocution remains one of the most serious hazards in construction sites, as identified by the US Occupational Health and Safety Administration. In this case, the law firm proved that multiple parties, including contractors and site managers, had neglected essential safety measures.

The firm, operating from West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie offices, provides comprehensive legal support across Florida. Their practice areas include:

  • Construction injuries
  • Industrial accidents
  • Occupational diseases
  • Personal injury cases
  • Social security disability claims
  • Wrongful death suits

Since 1985, Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Sosa has built a reputation for securing substantial settlements while providing compassionate representation for injured workers and their families throughout Southern Florida.
