From the first consultation to the outcome, we will be by your side. We offer honest advice, strategic advocacy, and the peace of mind from knowing you are not alone.
Our Hempstead personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including:
Car accidents are a significant cause of personal injury. We represent victims hurt by distracted driving, speeding, DUIs, and other negligent actions. Whether you are dealing with minor injuries or life-altering trauma, we work to recover full compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and related damages.
Truck accident injuries are often severe. We hold drivers and trucking companies accountable for negligence, federal safety violations, and fatigue-related crashes to help victims recover compensation and find justice after these life-altering events.
Slip-and-fall injuries often happen when property owners neglect safety. We work to prove negligence and recover compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain caused by these preventable accidents.
Doctors are expected to heal, not harm. If a medical provider’s negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible for compensation covering pain, suffering, additional treatment, and other losses tied to your failure to meet professional standards of care.
Construction sites are risky, but safety rules still apply. We represent injured workers in claims involving falls, faulty equipment, and hazardous job-site conditions to secure the compensation they need to recover and move forward.
Elderly residents deserve to be treated with dignity and care. If your loved one has experienced abuse or neglect in a Hempstead nursing home, we are here to help you take legal action and seek justice.
Dangerous or defective products can cause serious injuries. We handle claims involving unsafe consumer goods, medical devices, and prescription drugs that fail to meet safety standards and put users at unnecessary risk.
If another’s negligence led to your loved one’s death, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. We are here to help you seek accountability and the justice your family deserves.
No matter how your injury occurred, our team is prepared to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
If you were injured by someone else’s actions or inaction, New York law gives you the right to pursue financial compensation from them. You should not be left to shoulder the weight of medical bills, lost income, and emotional distress alone when you didn’t cause your injury. A personal injury claim can help you recover money for those losses while holding the responsible party accountable for their actions. In many cases, it also promotes safer practices and helps prevent similar harm from happening to others.
Our Hempstead personal injury lawyers are here to offer the guidance and support you need during this difficult time. We will explain your rights, outline your legal options, and handle every step of your case. From investigating your claim to negotiating with insurers or going to court, we fight to protect your interests and pursue the best possible outcome on your behalf.
Personal injury claims help victims recover financial and emotional losses caused by another party’s negligence. Depending on your case, you may be eligible for compensation that covers:
No two injuries are the same, so every claim deserves a personalized approach. Our legal team examines every detail to identify potential damages and fights hard to pursue the maximum compensation.
New York law gives injured individuals the right to pursue compensation, but doing so requires following specific legal steps. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
Timing is crucial. In New York, the deadline to file most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. However, certain exceptions can shorten that window. To protect your rights and avoid missing important deadlines, speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Substantial evidence is the foundation of a successful personal injury claim. After an accident, try to collect:
While these items are helpful, you are not on your own. Parker Waichman LLP will manage the evidence gathering for you, using investigators and experts to support your case as necessary.
Clients throughout Hempstead trust Parker Waichman LLP because of our:

If you are considering a personal injury claim in Hempstead, the answers below cover some of the most common questions we hear from clients.
A personal injury case arises when someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. Examples include car accidents, slips and falls, unsafe property conditions, medical malpractice, and defective products.
New York follows a comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages, even if you share some responsibility. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York generally allows an injured person three years from the date of the accident to file their lawsuit against the at-fault party. However, the deadline may be shorter in some instances, like those involving government agencies or medical malpractice. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
You aren’t required to have a lawyer, but it is highly advisable. An attorney can gather evidence, prove liability, calculate damages, and help you avoid costly legal mistakes.
Every case is different. Factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, long-term effects, and pain and suffering all influence the value of your claim. Parker Waichman LLP will review your situation and give you a clear picture of what to expect.
These answers only touch on the basics. If you have more questions, we are here to help and provide the guidance you need.
An unexpected injury can turn your world upside down — physically, emotionally, and financially. But you do not have to face the aftermath alone. The legal team at Parker Waichman LLP is here to support you, hold negligent parties accountable, and help you reclaim control of your life.
