Frequently asked questions.

I was hit crossing Suffolk Avenue in Brentwood. Who is responsible for the road?

Suffolk Avenue is a Suffolk County road (CR-100), and many side streets are maintained by the Town of Islip. If a dangerous design, missing signal, or road defect contributed, claims against the County or Town require a notice of claim within 90 days, and towns often require prior written notice of a defect. The Suffolk County Police Department usually takes the report.

Yes. Under New York No-Fault (Insurance Law §5103), PIP coverage pays your medical bills and part of your lost wages, up to $50,000, regardless of who caused the crash. To recover for pain and suffering from the other driver, you must meet the serious injury threshold.

Insurance Law §5102(d) lists the categories, including fractures, significant disfigurement, a permanent or significant limitation of a body function or system, and an injury that keeps you from your usual activities for 90 of the first 180 days. Meeting it depends on prompt, consistent treatment and good medical records.

It can. Suffolk County Transit buses are run by private operators for Suffolk County, so a claim can involve more than one party. Any claim against the County requires a notice of claim within 90 days of the crash, so call early.

Generally three years from the crash for a personal injury lawsuit (CPLR §214(5)). If a county, town, or village vehicle or road is involved, a notice of claim is due within 90 days (General Municipal Law §50-e), and the lawsuit generally must be filed within one year and 90 days. The No-Fault application is due within 30 days.

Yes. New York’s No-Fault and personal injury laws apply statewide, and Bob Amirian is admitted to practice in New York. If a lawsuit is needed, it can be filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court. Your first consultation is free and can start with a phone call.
