Plainview Personal Injury Lawyer

An accident caused by someone else's negligence can upend your life in an instant, leaving you with medical bills, lost income, and an uncertain recovery ahead. If that's happened to you in Plainview, New York, you don't have to face it alone, and you don't have to figure out how to pay for legal help before getting started. At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we represent injury victims throughout Long Island on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning our clients never pay anything out of pocket to have an experienced attorney fighting for them.

Plainview sits in the Town of Oyster Bay and is one of the busier commercial and residential hamlets in this part of Nassau County, largely because of its location at the interchange of the Long Island Expressway and Route 135, the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway. That interchange, along with the retail density around the Broadway Mall and the surrounding shopping corridor on Old Country Road, creates a level of traffic congestion that we don't see in some of the quieter neighboring communities. High merge speeds near the expressway ramps, combined with frequent stop-and-go traffic near the mall and nearby office parks, make Plainview a place where we regularly handle car accident and truck accident claims arising from both high-speed collisions and lower-speed parking lot incidents.

Beyond the roadways, Plainview's retail and commercial footprint brings its own set of premises liability concerns. Large parking lots, high foot traffic near store entrances, and seasonal hazards like ice and snow around the Broadway Mall and nearby shopping plazas all increase the risk of slip and fall accidents. We've represented numerous clients who were injured not on the road, but in a parking lot or storefront where a property owner failed to properly maintain the premises.

How Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. Represents Plainview Injury Victims

When you come to us after an accident, our first priority is making sure you understand your options with no pressure and no cost to you. We offer every prospective client a free, thorough case evaluation, and we handle the legal process from there under a contingency-fee arrangement, so you never pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. This approach exists because we believe cost should never be the reason an injury victim goes without proper legal representation.

If your accident required emergency care, there's a good chance you were treated at Plainview Hospital, a 219-bed Northwell Health facility located directly in the hamlet on Old Country Road. We regularly work with medical records and treating physicians from Plainview Hospital to document how an injury has affected our clients' health and daily lives. If your case ultimately requires a lawsuit, it would typically be filed with the Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, where our attorneys have extensive experience litigating personal injury claims.

Our team also recognizes that Plainview is a diverse community, and effective communication matters when you're already dealing with the stress of an injury. That's why we're able to assist clients in English, Spanish, Greek, Bengali, Tamil, and Kannada. If getting to our office isn't practical because of your injuries, we'll arrange to meet you at a location that works for you, whether that's your home, the hospital, or another convenient spot on Long Island.

New York's Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims

Under New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 214, injury victims have a limited window of time to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for their harm. The exact deadline depends on the type of claim, and certain circumstances, such as claims against a government entity, can shorten that window considerably. Because evidence and witness recollection tend to fade with time, it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident, even if you're not yet sure whether you have a case.

What to Do After an Accident in Plainview

The steps you take immediately following an accident can have a lasting effect on your ability to recover compensation. Getting prompt medical treatment, whether at Plainview Hospital or urgent care, should always come first. From there, reporting the incident to the police, a property owner, or an employer, documenting the scene with photos, and collecting witness information can all strengthen your claim. Be cautious about speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney, since early statements are often used to minimize what a claim is worth.
