Injury cases in Bellerose

Bellerose straddles the Queens–Nassau boundary, and the name covers both a Queens neighbourhood and a Nassau village. That is the practical issue in almost every case here: whether an accident happened in Queens or in Nassau decides the county, the courthouse, and which municipality is responsible for the road or sidewalk. Queens cases go to Jamaica; Nassau cases go to Mineola.

The deadline to know

On the Queens side, the § 7-210 exception for one-, two- and three-family owner-occupied homes puts many sidewalk defects back on the City, with a 90-day Notice of Claim.

  1. 01

    Jericho Turnpike, Braddock Avenue, Hillside Avenue and the Cross Island Parkway carry the traffic, and the mix of through routes and quiet residential blocks produces both higher-severity collisions on the arterials and low-speed backing and pedestrian cases on the side streets.

  2. 02

    On the Nassau side, the village or the Town of Hempstead may be responsible, with the same 90-day requirement and often a prior-written-notice rule as well.

If there was more than 5 stars Seth Fields and his associates would get them all. Mr. FIelds went to trial with a jury in Suffolk Cty Riverhead Supreme Ct & won w/ a verdict in minutes for 100% Liability. The defense worked with Mr. FIelds in a settlement before the damages trial began. I would stop here searching any further & contact Seth Fields if you want a Smart, Attainable for your questions, concerns, Empathetic to your needs but a Bull Dog with your case, then you found your attorney.I can’t thank you enough for all your long hours, weekends, holidays that you put into 7 yrs of all my medical, motions, hearings & trial etc. WE WON! You did it and obtained a large settlement that I couldn’t be more happy after this long tough journey. I would refer everyone to you that has a case that needs fighting for. 🙏

The most amazing, professional and knowledgeable with great communicators with injury law, and I highly recommend that there is no reason for second and third opinions on procuring a law firm with their experience and know how. They are second to none. My time was precious, and they respected every minute of it. Thank you!

Questions from Bellerose

Not answered here? A lawyer will answer it, free and at any hour.

Ask us directly
How do I know which county I was in?
The police report, the nearest cross street and photographs usually settle it. It matters more than it sounds: the county decides the courthouse and the municipal defendant.
Does the firm handle both sides?
Yes — our two offices are precisely for that. Hicksville covers Nassau and Suffolk, Kew Gardens covers the boroughs.
How long do I have?
Generally three years against a private party, but only 90 days to serve a Notice of Claim on a municipality or public authority. Call before you have to guess.
