Relentless Representation for Nassau County Injury Victims

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.

Compensation

Damages You May Be Entitled To

Nassau County injury victims who meet the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d) may pursue full compensation beyond no-fault benefits. Brett prepares every case for trial — that level of preparation is what forces fair settlements.

Economic Losses
Medical bills, lost income & future rehabilitation costs
Non-Economic Damages
Pain, suffering & loss of enjoyment of life
Punitive Damages
Available in cases of egregious misconduct

My experience with Brett and Dominika was beyond exceptional. From the initial consultation after my car accident 2 years ago to now. Dominika saw to it that I was up to date on everything concerning my case. When insurance said they would only give a pay out a certain amount, they kept fighting for me to get what I deserved after sustaining injuries that led to me having to get surgery! I honestly was expecting the process to take longer than it actually took but I’m happy they stood firm and made sure I came out on top. They were both very respectful, punctual and welcoming. I would recommend them to anyone I know because the customer service and the care for their clients is genuine!!! Thank you guys sooooo much for not only carrying me and my case for these last 2 years but for also being patient with me through the whole process! You guys are the best!!!

Hello, my name is Anwar Hadj-Sadok and my experience with Brett and Dominika was Incredible. A few years ago, I was in a car accident where I was struck by a car and before I was with Brett I was with this horrible lawyer. I was with this lawyer for around 3 years and my case had gone nowhere and for my settlement it was barely anything even though I had suffered a handful of injuries. So we had to do something about it and my father actually had a history with Brett so he decided why not Switch lawyers. At the beginning stage things already started to shift and what that other lawyer couldn't do in 3 years, Brett was able to only do it in 6 months, A drastic change. As for the settlement not only was Brett capable of increasing it but he tripled the amount that I was meant to receive with the other lawyer. Brett is an amazing Lawyer and Dominika Is the best paralegal I could've asked for. Both are outstanding people, Brett as an incredible Lawyer and Dominika acting as his right hand which makes their work extremely efficient. If you are looking for a Lawyer who works with injuries Brett and Dominika are the ones to call. Their work is the best.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Brett Nomberg and his exceptional paralegal, Dominika Szybisty. We met under very difficult circumstances, during an extremely painful time in our lives. Our seven-year-old daughter had just experienced a series of traumatic sexual assaults, by a teenage boy at school.
We originally reached out to another attorney, but he strongly recommended that we contact Brett Nomberg. I had never sought legal advice before and was nervous in unfamiliar territory.
During one of the most painful and stressful times in our lives, Brett Nomberg and Dominika Szybisty were always there for us. They gave us not only brilliant legal counsel but also unwavering support, thoughtful advice, and a compassionate ear. Over nearly three agonizing years of litigation, we faced countless challenges—dozens of depositions and even a trial. Ultimately, the case settled, but through it all, Brett and Dominika stood by us, guiding us with strength and integrity.
While nothing can undo the pain and trauma our family endured, the settlement we reached was the best outcome we could have hoped for. Brett and Dominika exceeded every expectation I had. Brett’s tireless dedication, sharp mind, and creative, outside-the-box thinking, paired with his genuine compassion, made all the difference. I always felt heard, supported, and protected—especially during my most vulnerable moments.
Brett’s meticulous approach, diligence, and passion for his work were evident in everything he did. He went above and beyond, diving deep into the case to uncover every critical detail, and his insights often left me in awe. It’s clear that he and his team truly care about their clients, and that passion shines through in their work and is reflected in how exceptionally good they are at it.
I am forever grateful for everything Brett and Dominika achieved on behalf of my family. Their professionalism, kindness, and expertise made a world of difference during the darkest time in our lives. I highly recommend Brett J. Nomberg and his firm to anyone in need of personal injury representation—you couldn’t be in better hands. Thank you, Brett and Dominika, for your unwavering support and dedication.

Ali, thank you for such kind words. It was an absolute pleasure representing you and your family. I became a lawyer over 30 years ago to help people just like your daughter who have been the victim of wrongful harm. No matter how many lawyers a defendant employs, or how much they try to conceal information, it only motivates me to dig deeper. Eventually the hole for them was so big that they saw no choice but to offer a fair amount to settle, but waiting right before my opening statement to the jury. And yes, Dominika is my right hand and just as compassionate about helping our clients. Our clients even after a case resolves are always our clients. Please do not hesitate to reach out whenever you have any questions about this matter or any other. Wishing you and your family all the best of health. Enjoy the holidays!

Liliya, thank you for the kind review, it was our pleasure helping you for your motor vehicle accident. Please do not hesitate to call if you ever have any questions about this or any other matter. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday. Warm regards, Brett
Finding a doctor after an injury can be overwhelming, especially with no-fault insurance complexities. After being hit by a car in NYC, I struggled to get the care I needed. Despite consulting top attorneys, none took my case as it didn’t meet their financial expectations.
Brett J. Nomberg was different. He said, “Let me first get you insurance so you can see the doctors, and later we can handle everything else.” His priority was helping me, even without knowing if he’d benefit financially!!! it is rare in NYC but true about Brett.
Brett’s genuine care and dedication made a profound difference during a challenging time. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with him. Thank you, Mr. Nomberg, for your compassion and support.

Thank you Esther for that kind review. I try to help every client navigate the no fault and insurance laws to get medical treatment after a car accident before worrying whether the case will produce revenue. I'm glad that you were able to get your medical treatment and we were able to resolve your case for the full insurance policy limits of the defendant. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any further questions or need my help. Have a safe and healthy holiday. Warm regards, Brett

I sought out Brett on a recommendation from a friend for my motor vehicle accident. He was the first lawyer I have spoken to who truly cared. From working with him to his paralegal Dominika I have never been more impressed. Personal injury is a lot to manage. While I hope I have no further issues with injury in the future if I do, I will always return to Brett.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brett on a legal issue I was facing, and I couldn't be more grateful for his assistance. He took the time to break down complex legal information into terms I could easily understand, never once making me feel overwhelmed or out of place. His professionalism, patience, and ability to provide clear, actionable advice made navigating a difficult situation much easier. If you're in need of a personal injury attorney who truly cares and ensures you feel empowered throughout the process, I highly recommend Brett. He’s someone you can trust with your case!

MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

In 2007, a Manhattan defense attorney bragged to Brett Nomberg that our client’s case was worth 11 cents. The jury came back with a $4.5 million verdict.

In 2014, a New York defense lawyer tried to conceal evidence from Brett Nomberg. That attorney was sanctioned $10,000 and the insurance company then settled for $3.9 million.

In 2021, a defense attorney tried to conceal a surveillance tape of the accident. Brett Nomberg made a motion for sanctions and the court as punishment held the defendant was entirely responsible for the accident. The case then settled for $1.7 million.
