Injury cases in Hempstead

Hempstead is the busiest transit hub in Nassau County. The Hempstead Transit Center brings together the LIRR terminus and the largest concentration of NICE bus routes on Long Island, and Fulton Avenue, Front Street, Peninsula Boulevard and Hempstead Turnpike carry heavy traffic through a dense, walkable downtown.
  1. 01

    That combination —

    high pedestrian volume and wide fast arterials — is why Hempstead Turnpike has repeatedly been identified among the most dangerous roads for pedestrians in the state.

  2. 02

    Pedestrian cases here follow New York's no-fault rule:

    the coverage follows the vehicle, so the car that struck you generally pays your medical bills and part of your lost wages regardless of fault, provided the application is filed within 30 days. If the driver left the scene, uninsured motorist coverage or a MVAIC claim may still apply — but MVAIC requires the accident to have been reported to the police within 24 hours where practicable.

  3. 03

    Where a NICE bus is involved, the case changes character:

    that is a claim against a public transit operation, and it normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Hofstra University and the surrounding commercial strip generate their own share of premises and vehicle cases.

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 Hempstead

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

Ask us directly
I was hit by a NICE bus.
That is a claim against a public transit operation, which normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days — not three years. Call as soon as you can, and do not attend any recorded hearing without your lawyer.
The driver who hit me drove off.
Report it to the police immediately, ideally within 24 hours. Your household policy's uninsured motorist coverage may respond, and where there is no policy at all, MVAIC exists for exactly this — with a notice of intention due within 90 days.
Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Yes. Clifford Gabel is fluent in Spanish and the firm handles cases in Spanish from the first call through trial.
