Whether you are in Hempstead, Mineola, or Garden City, accidents happen all across Nassau County. When they do, victims often face long recoveries and lasting consequences. Some of the most common personal injury cases we handle include:
These accidents often involve complex liability issues and demand a thorough legal analysis. Building a strong case requires careful attention to detail and solid evidence that can hold up in court.
After an accident, you are likely facing medical bills, time away from work, and emotional stress. Handling an injury claim alone can jeopardize your ability to recover damages. Insurance companies may pressure you to accept a low offer or blame you for what happened. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer in Nassau County levels the playing field.
At Parker Waichman LLP, we handle every aspect of your case—from collecting evidence and documenting your injuries to negotiating aggressively for a fair settlement. Our firm has recovered over $2 billion for injured clients, and we are prepared to take cases to trial if needed.
We provide:
Our firm understands the toll an accident can take on your life. We fight hard to make sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
If you were hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages. These might include:
In some cases, punitive damages may apply, especially if the defendant acted with gross negligence or recklessness. Every case is different, and our attorneys will evaluate all possible forms of compensation available under New York law.
While every injury case is different, most follow a structured legal process. Here’s how it works:
Throughout the process, Parker Waichman LLP remains accessible and responsive. We answer questions, keep you informed, and guide you through every decision.
Under New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) § 214(5), most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the accident date. This is known as the statute of limitations. If you file after that window closes, your case may be dismissed, regardless of its strength. There are also exceptions based on the type of claim:
Because missing a deadline could cost you the chance to recover damages, it is critical to act quickly. A Nassau County personal injury lawyer can help you understand which timeline applies and make sure your case stays on track.
For over 30 years, we have stood beside injury victims in Nassau County and Long Island. Our attorneys know the local courts, judges, and insurance companies, and we have secured life-changing results for people hurt in car crashes, construction accidents, slip-and-falls, medical malpractice, and more.
Why choose us?
We also take on complex cases that other firms avoid, including catastrophic injuries, chemical exposure, and product liability class actions. Our lawyers are nationally recognized for their skill, but our mission remains rooted in serving New Yorkers. If you were injured in Nassau County, we will fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
If you are dealing with an injury, you likely have questions. Below are answers to some of the most common ones.
You should still see a doctor. Delays do not automatically harm your case, but insurers may use them to argue your injuries weren’t serious. We can push back on that.
It depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and how the accident affected your life. We offer a free case evaluation to give you a clearer idea.
Yes. New York follows comparative negligence laws, meaning your percentage of fault may reduce your compensation, but you can still recover damages. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by $20,000, leaving you with $80,000.
Even minor injuries can lead to significant expenses or lasting issues. An attorney can review your situation and make sure nothing is overlooked.
Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take over a year. It depends on the severity of the injury and whether the other side is willing to negotiate fairly.
Most personal injury claims settle outside of court, but we prepare every case for trial if necessary.
We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
Every case brings unique concerns. Let us walk you through your options during a free consultation.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
