Injury cases in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill is threaded by two elevated lines and three heavily commercial avenues. Liberty Avenue under the A and Jamaica Avenue under the J both run beneath steel structures whose columns block sight lines and whose shadows hide pedestrians, and Atlantic Avenue carries fast through-traffic between them. Add the Van Wyck on the eastern edge and the constant double-parking outside the avenue businesses, and the collision pattern is predictable.
  1. 01

    Housing here is largely one- and two-family homes and small apartment buildings, which matters for premises cases: under Administrative Code § 7-210 the adjoining owner is responsible for sidewalk maintenance, except for owner-occupied one- to three-family homes, where the City remains responsible. Which side of that exception a property falls on decides who the defendant is and whether a 90-day Notice of Claim applies.

  2. 02

    The neighbourhood's working population is concentrated in construction, transport and food service, and workplace cases here regularly involve a third party beyond the employer.

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 Richmond Hill

Ask us directly
I tripped on a broken sidewalk. Who do I sue?
Usually the adjoining property owner under Administrative Code § 7-210 — but if it is an owner-occupied one- to three-family home, responsibility stays with the City, and that means a Notice of Claim within 90 days. We check the property class first.
I was hit under the elevated tracks.
Sight lines under the el are a recurring factor in these cases. Photographs from the driver's and pedestrian's eye level, taken at the same time of day, are often the most persuasive evidence there is.
Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Yes, from the first call through trial.
