Injury cases in Valley Stream

Valley Stream sits on the Queens border, and that position shapes its cases. Sunrise Highway, Rockaway Avenue, Merrick Road and the Southern State Parkway carry heavy through-traffic, the Green Acres Mall complex draws regional shoppers into large parking fields, and the LIRR station serves one of the busiest commuter corridors on the South Shore.
  1. 01

    The border matters legally.

    An accident a few blocks west is a New York City case: Queens County venue, City defendants, and the Administrative Code § 7-210 sidewalk rule that puts responsibility on the adjoining property owner. A few blocks east it is a Nassau case, venued in Mineola, with village and town rules instead. The same fall on the same kind of sidewalk can be governed by completely different law depending on which side of the line it happened.

  2. 02

    Valley Stream is an incorporated village with its own police department, so claims involving village roads, sidewalks or vehicles require a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

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!

Ask us directly
My accident happened right on the Queens border. Which rules apply?
Whichever county it physically occurred in — and it changes the venue, the potential defendants and sometimes the deadline. We work that out from the police report and the location before anything else.
I fell in the mall parking lot.
The property owner and any maintenance or snow-removal contractor may both be responsible. Their contracts and the lot's inspection records are part of the case.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front, and no fee unless we win.
