New York law governs personal injury claims throughout the state, but where an accident happened, who was involved, and where a case may be filed can affect how the claim proceeds.
Personal injury lawsuits filed in Nassau County may proceed through New York’s court system, including Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, depending on the nature and value of the claim. Litigation can involve written discovery, depositions, expert testimony, motions, settlement negotiations, and potentially trial.
Claims involving a municipality, public authority, government agency, public school, or other governmental entity can involve rules and deadlines that differ significantly from an ordinary negligence case. In some circumstances, a Notice of Claim may need to be filed within 90 days.
New York’s no-fault system can make motor vehicle cases different from other negligence claims. A serious car accident case may involve no-fault benefits, liability evidence, insurance coverage, medical documentation, and New York’s legal requirements for recovering certain damages from an at-fault party.
The deadline depends on the type of case and the parties involved. Claims involving public entities, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other specialized matters can be subject to rules that differ from an ordinary negligence claim. Early review can also help preserve evidence before it disappears.

Learn About Slip and Fall Claims →Medical malpractice claims can involve diagnostic errors, surgical mistakes, delayed treatment, medication errors, birth injuries, and other failures to meet the applicable standard of care.
Learn About Medical Malpractice Claims →Not every accident results in a valid personal injury claim. Generally, a claim requires evidence showing that another person, business, property owner, contractor, medical provider, or other party was legally responsible for conduct that contributed to your injuries and losses.
A meaningful evaluation looks at the circumstances of the accident, available evidence, medical findings, potential defendants, insurance coverage, damages, possible defenses, and applicable legal deadlines.
There is no standard settlement amount for a particular injury. The value of a personal injury claim depends on the facts, the available evidence, the extent of the injuries, and the losses that can be legally established.
Past medical treatment as well as reasonably anticipated future care related to the injury may be relevant to a claim.
Compensation may include wages and other income lost while an injured person is unable to work because of the accident.
Serious injuries can affect a person’s ability to return to the same work or earn income at the same level in the future.
Severe injuries may require physical therapy, occupational therapy, assistive devices, home modifications, or other forms of continuing care.
Depending on the claim, compensation may be available for the physical pain and other non-economic consequences of an injury.
A serious injury can affect mobility, independence, hobbies, family activities, and a person’s overall quality of life.
We prepare serious personal injury cases with litigation in mind from the beginning. Thorough preparation can help preserve important evidence, identify legal and factual issues early, document damages properly, and strengthen the firm’s position during settlement negotiations.
When litigation becomes necessary, the case is developed to withstand scrutiny through discovery, depositions, expert analysis, motion practice, and trial preparation.

Important evidence may include accident reports, photographs, surveillance footage, witness information, vehicle records, property records, construction documents, medical records, and other material relevant to responsibility.
A serious claim should document not only how an accident occurred but also how the injuries affect health, employment, finances, independence, and future needs.
When a lawsuit is necessary, discovery, depositions, expert analysis, motions, court appearances, and other litigation tools may be used to develop the evidence.
Settlement negotiations are approached from a position built on investigation, documentation, and preparation while remaining ready to continue through litigation when necessary.

Marks Law Group, P.C. 111 Great Neck Road, Suite 201-M Great Neck, NY 11021 (516) 687-9763Answers to common questions people have when considering a personal injury claim in Nassau County.
Marks Law Group handles personal injury matters on a contingency-fee basis. That means there is generally no attorney fee upfront, and attorney fees are paid from a recovery if compensation is obtained.
Clients may still be responsible for certain case-related expenses depending on the circumstances and fee agreement.
A potential case generally requires evidence that another person or entity was legally responsible for conduct that contributed to your injuries and losses.
The answer can depend on how the accident occurred, who was involved, what evidence is available, the medical findings, applicable insurance coverage, and the law governing the claim.
There is no formula that can accurately determine the value of every personal injury case.
Factors may include:
The deadline depends on the type of case and the parties involved. Many negligence claims are subject to a three-year statute of limitations, but different deadlines apply to wrongful death, medical malpractice, claims involving public entities, and other matters.
Certain claims involving government or public entities may also require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Because waiting can affect both deadlines and the availability of evidence, a potential claim should generally be reviewed promptly.
Partial responsibility does not automatically have the same effect in every type of New York personal injury case. Comparative-fault principles may reduce recovery in many negligence cases, while different rules can apply to certain motor-vehicle actions.
The effect of fault depends on the type of claim, the applicable law, and the evidence concerning each party’s responsibility.
Many personal injury claims resolve without a trial. Whether a particular case settles depends on factors including the strength of the evidence, the injuries, available insurance coverage, defendants involved, and whether the parties can agree on fair compensation.
Preparing a case properly for litigation can strengthen the position from which settlement negotiations take place.
