Injury cases in Garden City

Garden City generates more search for an injury lawyer than any other town on Long Island, and the reason is on its roads. Roosevelt Field is one of the largest shopping centres in the United States, and its parking fields, ring road and the Old Country Road and Stewart Avenue corridors around it produce a steady stream of collisions and parking-lot falls.

The deadline to know

A claim arising from a village-maintained road or sidewalk normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days and, in many cases, proof of prior written notice of the defect.

  1. 01

    Add the office buildings along Stewart Avenue, the Garden City LIRR station, Adelphi University and the constant turning traffic on Franklin Avenue and Seventh Street, and the pattern is clear.

  2. 02

    Retail and parking-lot premises cases here follow the same rule as everywhere: notice.

    Whether the store or the property manager knew about the spill, the ice or the broken pavement — and how long it had been there — is proved by surveillance video and sweep logs that exist for weeks, not years. In a mall environment there are often two potential defendants, the store and the property owner, with separate insurers and separate maintenance contracts.

  3. 03

    One local point worth knowing:

    Garden City is an incorporated village with its own police department and its own maintenance responsibilities. That is a much shorter clock than the three years people assume they have.

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 Garden City

Ask us directly
I fell in a store at Roosevelt Field. Who is responsible?
Possibly the store, possibly the mall's owner, and sometimes a cleaning or maintenance contractor. Each has its own insurer and its own records. The first step is securing the incident report and the camera footage before it is overwritten, which in most retail systems happens within 14 to 30 days.
My accident was on a village street in Garden City.
Then the Incorporated Village of Garden City may be the defendant, and that means a Notice of Claim within 90 days rather than three years — and often a requirement that the village had prior written notice of the defect. Call quickly; this is the deadline that ends otherwise strong cases.
Where would my case be heard?
Nassau County Supreme Court, 100 Supreme Court Drive in Mineola — about ten minutes from Garden City and from our Hicksville office.
