Proficient Car Accident Attorneys in East Hampton, NY
Anytime you drive around in and around the eastern end of Long Island, you run the risk of getting in a car collision. If this happens to you, and you become injured, then it is imperative that you get in touch with a car accident lawyer. The financial losses from a car accident in the Hamptons can be extensive, and without an experienced attorney, you may not get access to the compensation that you deserve.
Experienced Legal Professionals
There are a lot of safety features built into modern cars, but that does not mean that collisions do not happen. When they do, the effects can be life-changing for those involved: life-long disabilities, massive injuries, and even death are not uncommon results of collisions involving cars. Unfortunately, the insurance companies that represent drivers can often be extremely difficult to deal with – doing everything they can to either delay or deny you the payment you need. This comes at a particularly difficult time for you – you are injured, you may have property or vehicular damage, and you have to miss work, all of which costs money.
At Palermo Law, we believe in getting you the money you need, as quickly as we can. Insurance companies should not be allowed to take advantage of you and your situation to give you the runaround or lowball your compensation figure – and we will not let them.
If you have been injured in a car accident in East Hampton, whether you were driving, a passenger, or a pedestrian, then as soon as you are able to you need to get in touch with an established, experienced car accident attorne

A Passion For Helping Injured People
At Palermo Law, we focus in a wide range of practice areas related to car accidents in East Hampton, including:
- Car Accidents: Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, T-bone accident, head-on crash, or any other type of car accident, our personal injury team has the knowledge and experience to help you navigate the legal process and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and damages.
- Truck Accidents: Truck accidents can result in catastrophic injuries and significant property damage due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks. Our team has decades of experience handling truck accident cases and can help you hold negligent truck drivers and trucking companies accountable for their actions.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Many drivers on Long Island do not know how to share the roads with motorcycles. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road and often suffer severe injuries in accidents. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident due to another driver’s negligence, our attorneys can help you seek justice and fair compensation for your injuries.
- Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrians are at risk of being struck by vehicles, especially in busy urban areas like East Hampton. If you were injured while walking or crossing the street, our legal team can help you pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party.
- Bicycle Accidents: Bicyclists have the same rights as motorists on the road, but they are often overlooked and vulnerable to accidents. If you were injured in a bicycle accident caused by a negligent driver, our attorneys can advocate for your rights and help you recover compensation for your injuries.
- DUI Accidents: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense that can result in devastating accidents and injuries. If you were injured by a drunk or impaired driver, our experienced DUI accident lawyers can help you seek justice and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.

Each of our Hamptons clients receive a free, no-obligation consultation. This is an opportunity for you to get a better understanding of the processes involved in taking your case forward, and it gives us a chance to get to know you and the details of your case.
After that, if we feel we can bring value to your situation, we will propose a plan of action. If you decide to let us take your claim forward, we will start work immediately – reaching out to the other parties involved, building a portfolio of evidence, and collating your medical records and other documentation. We will bring the other parties to the negotiation table, and set out what we believe your claim would be valued at if it were to go to a jury trial. If we cannot reach an agreement that works for you here, then we will proceed to trial where we will present your case before a judge and jury and get your compensation that way.
