Injury cases in Port Washington

Port Washington sits at the end of its own LIRR branch, and the daily commuter flow concentrates traffic on Port Washington Boulevard, Main Street and Shore Road in a narrow corridor. The waterfront adds marine and marina work, and the town's older commercial buildings and steep grades produce a steady share of stair and sidewalk falls.
  1. 01

    Construction here is largely residential and small-commercial renovation —

    which is exactly where Labor Law § 240(1) cases arise on small sites: unsecured ladders, incomplete scaffold planking, and roofers working without a proper anchor point. The statute applies to a two-storey renovation as much as to a high-rise, and the property owner and the general contractor can be strictly liable for an elevation-related fall.

  2. 02

    Port Washington is unincorporated and served by the Town of North Hempstead, so a claim over a road or sidewalk defect is normally a municipal claim with a 90-day Notice of Claim.

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 Port Washington

Ask us directly
I fell from a ladder on a residential job.
Labor Law § 240(1) can apply to residential work, with an exception for owners of one- and two-family homes who do not direct or control the work. Whether that exception applies is fact-specific and worth having reviewed rather than assumed.
Is my case worth pursuing if I am already on workers' comp?
Often yes. Comp pays nothing for pain and suffering. A Labor Law claim against the owner or general contractor is a separate case that runs alongside it.
Do you travel to meet clients here?
Yes. If you cannot get to Hicksville we come to you, at home or in the hospital.
