Injury cases in Elmont

Elmont sits on the Queens line at Belmont Park, and the redevelopment there — an arena, a new rail station, hotel and retail construction — has changed the local case mix substantially. Large-scale construction brings Labor Law § 240(1) elevation cases; event traffic brings crowd, parking and pedestrian cases on nights the arena is full; and both feed onto Hempstead Turnpike and the Cross Island Parkway, which were busy before any of it was built.

The deadline to know

Elmont is unincorporated, so the Town of Hempstead and Nassau County maintain most roads and sidewalks, and a claim against either requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

  1. 01

    Hempstead Turnpike through Elmont carries the same problem it carries through the rest of Nassau:

    multiple lanes, long gaps between signals and commercial entrances throughout, with pedestrian collisions concentrated after dark. Dutch Broadway, Elmont Road and Meacham Avenue take the local traffic.

  2. 02

    Where the accident was on the Queens side of the line, it is a New York City case with the City's own 90-day rule and a different courthouse.

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 Elmont

Ask us directly
I was hurt at an event at the arena.
The venue operator, the event promoter and any security or crowd-management contractor may all be responsible, depending on what happened. Incident reports and camera footage are the evidence, and both have short retention periods — the letter preserving them should go out immediately.
I was injured on the construction site.
Labor Law §§ 240 and 241(6) give construction workers rights that no other worker has, including absolute liability on owners and general contractors for elevation-related falls. That claim runs alongside workers' compensation, and your immigration status does not affect it.
My accident was just over the Queens line.
Then it is a New York City case — different courthouse, and if the City or the MTA is involved, a Notice of Claim within 90 days. We handle both sides of that line.
