Personal Injury Cases We Handle on Long Island
Car Accident Lawyer – Long Island, NY
From the Long Island Expressway (LIE) to the Northern State Parkway and Sunrise Highway, serious motor vehicle accidents occur daily.
We represent clients injured in:
- Rear-end collisions
- Multi-vehicle crashes
- Drunk driving accidents
- Rideshare (Uber & Lyft) accidents
- Hit-and-run incidents
New York’s no-fault insurance laws and “serious injury” threshold requirements can complicate recovery. We build cases strategically from the beginning to maximize compensation.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Long Island’s commercial corridors and delivery routes increase the risk of severe truck crashes. These cases often involve corporate defendants and layered insurance policies.
We conduct detailed investigations to identify all responsible parties.
Construction Accidents
With ongoing residential and commercial development throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties, construction accidents remain a significant source of serious injuries.
We represent:
- Injured construction workers
- Scaffold and ladder fall victims
- Individuals injured by falling debris
- Workers harmed by unsafe equipment
New York Labor Law provides important protections — but only when properly asserted.
Slip and Fall & Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. Whether the injury occurred at a shopping center, apartment complex, office building, or private residence, we pursue claims backed by evidence and expert analysis.
Wrongful Death Claims
When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, families deserve experienced and determined legal advocacy. We handle wrongful death cases with strength, discretion, and strategic focus.
Compensation in Long Island Injury Cases
Depending on the severity of the injury, compensation may include:
- Emergency and hospital treatment

- Future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability damages

Our goal is not a quick settlement.
It is the full and fair value of your claim.

Important Deadlines in New York Personal Injury Cases

- Claims against municipalities may require a Notice of Claim within 90 days
- No-fault insurance deadlines apply in car accident cases
- Critical evidence can disappear quickly
Early legal involvement strengthens your case.
