Nassau County Personal Injury Lawyer

Law Office of Brett J. Nomberg, PLLC — Serving Nassau County & All of Long Island

Nassau County Personal Injury Lawyer Brett J. Nomberg has represented injury victims throughout Nassau County and Long Island for over 30 years. He is the founder of the Law Office of Brett J. Nomberg, PLLC. His firm handles the full range of Nassau County personal injury claims — car accidents on the Meadowbrook Parkway, construction falls in Garden City, slip and fall injuries at Roosevelt Field, pedestrian accidents, and medical malpractice. Brett personally manages every case. No associates are assigned. Clients can reach him any day, including weekends.

Nassau County injury cases go through Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola — not New York City courts. That distinction matters. Suburban municipalities, shopping centers, county roads, and private property owners each carry different liability rules than those that apply in the five boroughs. Claims involving the Town of Hempstead, Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) Bus, or any county department are subject to municipal procedures. Under General Municipal Law §50-e, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days of the incident. Missing that deadline permanently bars your right to sue a public entity — regardless of how serious your injuries are.

Nassau County also operates under New York’s no-fault insurance system. Under New York Insurance Law §5102(d), accident victims must meet the serious injury threshold to pursue pain and suffering damages beyond basic no-fault coverage. This threshold — which includes fractures, significant disfigurement, and disabilities lasting 90 or more days — is one that insurers challenge aggressively. As an experienced Long Island personal injury attorney, Brett understands how Nassau County insurers evaluate claims, what evidence local courts expect, and how to build a case that withstands those challenges from the start.

Why Nassau County Cases Are Different

  • Nassau County Requires Knowledge of Local Jurisdiction

Unlike the five boroughs of New York City, Nassau County has its own court system, its own municipal agencies, and its own procedural rules. Cases are litigated in Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola. Local knowledge — of the courts, the judges, the insurers, and the liability landscape — matters as much as legal experience.

Nassau County is densely developed with shopping centers, highways, suburban intersections, and ongoing construction. Liability in any given case may fall on a private property owner, a municipality, a contractor, or a combination of all three. Brett investigates every responsible party and pursues all available sources of recovery.

Critical Deadline — Municipal Claims

Claims against the Town of Hempstead, NICE Bus, Nassau County, or any public entity require a Notice of Claim under General Municipal Law §50-e within 90 days of the incident. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim — regardless of injury severity. Brett handles all Notice of Claim filings correctly and on time.

Many Nassau County injury victims don’t realize their accident involved a public entity until it’s too late. A sidewalk that looks private may be county-maintained. A bus stop collision may involve NICE Bus. Brett identifies all responsible parties immediately so no deadline is ever missed.

Practice Areas

  • Common Types of Nassau County Injury Cases

Brett handles the full range of personal injury claims throughout Nassau County — from Hempstead to Oyster Bay, from Long Beach to Great Neck. Each case is investigated thoroughly and built for maximum recovery.

Car Accidents

The Meadowbrook Parkway, Northern State Parkway, and Hempstead Turnpike are among Nassau County’s most dangerous corridors. Rear-end crashes, intersection collisions, and distracted driving accidents are common. Brett uses police reports, intersection footage, and vehicle data to establish fault. See the car accident practice page for more.

Slip & Fall Injuries

Falls at Nassau County shopping centers, parking lots, supermarkets, and retail locations are among the most common claims Brett handles. Property owners owe a duty to maintain safe premises. Brett uses maintenance records, incident reports, and surveillance footage to prove negligence. Visit the slip and fall page.

Construction Accidents

Nassau County’s ongoing residential and commercial construction creates serious jobsite hazards. Brett leverages New York Labor Law §240 — the Scaffold Law — to hold property owners and contractors strictly liable for falls from elevated heights. He also applies Labor Law §241(6) for industrial code violations. Learn more on the construction accident page.

Pedestrian Accidents

Nassau County’s suburban roads — wide, fast-moving, and often lacking protected crosswalks — create dangerous conditions for pedestrians. Brett handles cases involving distracted drivers, failure to yield, and bus strikes throughout the county. See the pedestrian accident page.

Medical Malpractice

Nassau County is home to major hospitals and medical centers. When errors occur — surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis, birth injuries, medication errors — Brett pursues full accountability. Learn more on the medical malpractice page.
