Who Took the Report
County police, a village department, the State Police on the parkways, or the NYPD. Which one responded determines where the report comes from, and requesting it from the wrong place costs weeks.

New York law does not change between Huntington and Brooklyn. Almost everything else does, and the practical differences decide more claims than most people expect.
How Short the Deadline Is
Most New York injury claims run three years. A claim involving a city, a town or a public authority — a bus, a municipal vehicle, the road itself — begins with a notice of claim on a deadline measured in weeks.
What Evidence Exists
A dense commercial street is overlooked by cameras and full of witnesses. An unlit county road at night is neither. What can be recovered, and how quickly it disappears, varies enormously by where you were.
Where It Would Be Heard
Riverhead for Suffolk, Mineola for Nassau, Jamaica for Queens, Downtown Brooklyn for Kings. Most matters settle without anyone appearing, but the venue is a real consideration in how a case is run.
Why This Firm
The firm is based in Copiague and works across Long Island and the western boroughs. Wherever on that map your crash happened, the consultation costs nothing and carries no obligation.
