Attorney - David
Fried
Winter 2005
A Union County lawsuit over an electrical system blast that killed one worker and injured another settled recently for 1.37
million dollars. The blast at Sidmak Laboratories in East Hanover,
New Jersey occurred when a steel rod was left in a circuit breaker
closet. When the power was turned on by two workers, an explosion
occurred, causing one man to suffer third degree burns over
half of his body. He subsequently died six weeks later. The
other man suffered second and third degree burns on his head
and arms, requiring debridements and skin grafts. The installer
of the circuit breaker system contributed significantly to the
settlement. An inspection company who had approved the system
as installed, and, the system's manufacturer also contributed.
David Fried, a partner of the firm, handled the matter on behalf
of the two workers.
