Injury cases in Glen Cove

Glen Cove is one of only two cities in Nassau County, which makes it different from the villages around it: it runs its own police department, maintains its own roads and sidewalks, and is its own defendant. A claim arising from a city street, a city sidewalk or a city vehicle normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days, and defect cases frequently require proof of prior written notice as well.
  1. 01

    The local case mix follows the geography.

    Glen Cove Hospital anchors the medical side. The waterfront and its redevelopment bring construction work and the elevation risks that come with it. Glen Cove Avenue, Forest Avenue and Route 107 carry the traffic, and the older downtown grid — narrow streets, on-street parking, steep grades down to the harbour — produces turning collisions and pedestrian cases out of proportion to the city's size.

  2. 02

    Nassau cases are filed in Mineola, roughly half an hour south.

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 Glen Cove

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

Ask us directly
Does it matter that Glen Cove is a city, not a village?
For deadlines, yes. The City of Glen Cove is the entity responsible for its own streets and sidewalks, so a claim against it runs on the 90-day Notice of Claim rather than the three-year statute. Which entity is responsible for a given stretch of road is one of the first things we check.
I was hurt on a construction site at the waterfront.
New York Labor Law § 240(1) puts absolute liability on owners and general contractors for elevation-related injuries, and your comparative fault does not reduce it. That claim runs alongside workers' compensation, and it is where compensation for pain and suffering comes from.
How quickly should I call?
Quickly. If a public entity is involved you may have 90 days, and evidence like camera footage and site conditions disappears well before that.
