Injury cases in East Meadow

East Meadow sits at the centre of Nassau County, and Hempstead Turnpike runs through the middle of it. That road has appeared repeatedly on state lists of the most dangerous in New York for people on foot: six lanes, long distances between signals, and commercial entrances every few hundred feet. Add Merrick Avenue, Front Street and the traffic in and out of Eisenhower Park, and the local case mix is dominated by vehicle and pedestrian collisions.
  1. 01

    The other landmark matters more than it looks.

    Nassau University Medical Center is a public benefit corporation, not a private hospital — and a malpractice claim against it normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days and suit within one year and 90 days, instead of the two years and six months that applies to a private hospital. Patients almost never know this distinction exists, and it ends otherwise strong cases every year.

  2. 02

    Eisenhower Park adds county-owned premises to the picture:

    a fall on county parkland is a claim against Nassau County, on the same 90-day notice.

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!

My treatment was at NUMC and something went wrong.
Because it is a public facility, the deadline is far shorter than for a private hospital — normally a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Call as soon as you suspect a problem; we can begin while the records are still being gathered.
I was struck crossing Hempstead Turnpike.
These are among the most serious cases we see. The driver's no-fault covers your initial treatment, and the liability claim carries the rest. If lighting, signal timing or a missing crosswalk contributed, a municipal defendant and its 90-day notice may also be in the case.
I fell in Eisenhower Park.
That is county property, so a Notice of Claim within 90 days applies. Photograph the condition and report it to the parks office the same day if you can.
