Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer in Freeport, Nassau County

Freeport is crossed by Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road, two of Nassau County’s most dangerous roads for pedestrians. The Freeport LIRR station, the Nautical Mile on Woodcleft Avenue, and the Meadowbrook Parkway pull heavy traffic through the village year-round, and even more in summer.

  • Sunrise Highway (NY-27). Ranked among Nassau’s most dangerous roads for pedestrians by Tri-State Transportation Campaign, with the most pedestrian deaths on the county list.

  • Main Street at Sunrise Highway. Commuter, bus, and drop-off traffic around the Freeport LIRR station.
  • Woodcleft Avenue (the Nautical Mile). Seasonal crowds, tight parking, and pedestrians in the roadway.

Frequently asked questions.

I was hit on Sunrise Highway or Merrick Road in Freeport. Who responds, and who maintains the road?

Inside the village, the Freeport Police Department usually takes the report. Sunrise Highway is a state highway (NY-27), while Merrick Road is a county road and most local streets belong to the Village. That matters for claims about road design or defects: claims against the Village or County require a notice of claim within 90 days, and claims against New York State have their own 90-day rule in the Court of Claims.

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. NICE (Nassau Inter-County Express) buses are run by a private operator for Nassau 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 Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola. Your first consultation is free and can start with a phone call.
