Skilled Auto Accident Attorneys Serving Clients in Long Island, NY
Car accidents happen out of the blue and can range from being a minor inconvenience to being a life changing event. If you have recently been involved in a car collision you may find yourself dealing with medical bills, lost wages and painful injuries. Most people are not prepared to deal with all of the paperwork and phone calls that need to be handled while they are trying to recover from their injuries. Nor are they prepared for the financial hardships that occur when an injury is serious. That’s where we can help.
Palermo Law are Long Island Car collision lawyers dedicated to helping injured people get the financial compensation that they are entitled to from the multi-billion dollar insurance companies that refuse to accept responsibility for the negligence of their drivers.
We have been representing Long Island car accident victims for over two decades and have helped thousands of clients recover millions of dollars. We always offer a free consultation at any of our six offices located throughout Long Island and can even come to you, if you’re unable to make it into one of our locations.
Planning A Course Of Action Following Your Car Accident
Experiencing a traumatic car accident can leave you feeling inundated with tasks, from handling calls from various insurance companies to scheduling medical appointments, repairing your vehicle, and possibly even missing work. However, taking a moment to strategize and create a plan can be tremendously helpful during this challenging time. At Palermo Law, we have extensive experience in guiding individuals through such situations and helping them regain a sense of control over their lives.

justice they deserve.
Two decades ago, Steven Palermo began his legal practice with one objective: to help those in need obtain the justice they deserve. It was not long before he was taking on huge corporations and billion-dollar insurance companies, fighting for just that.
Early on, he learned that the field of personal injury law was one that required laser focus – it was the only way to navigate the huge companies who viewed his clients as nothing but a number on a page, but had seemingly limitless resources to fight against paying them what they deserved. Steven has since devoted all his efforts to the aggressive practice of personal injury litigation, and it is a strategy that works. He has helped hundreds of clients regain their lives after devastating personal injuries.

“...cannot be happier with our decision!”
Steven Palermo was referred to us from a friend and I cannot be happier with our decision. He worked hard to obtain a settlement to compensate for pain I had to undergo as a result of an accident. I will continue to refer anyone in need of a car accident attorney to this office! Thanks Palermo for everything!

Trial Ready Strategy
Most personal injury lawsuits are settled out of court at some point before a trial. Many personal injury law firms on Long Island don’t fully prepare their cases for trial when anticipating a settlement. This weakens their position when it comes time to negotiate a settlement. At Palermo Law, we always fully prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This level of preparation gives us the leverage to negotiate the highest possible compensation for our clients and puts us in a strong position should a trial become necessary.
Focused on Helping the Injured
We realize that being really well-versed in any one area of law takes focus. Personal injury law is no exception. That’s why our Long Island car accident lawyers only handle car accident cases. Steven Palermo, our managing partner, has been exclusively handling personal injury cases for the last two decades. We handle all types of cases for the injured, including car accidents, slip and falls and work-related accidents. We have never represented an insurance company and never will. We do what we do because we love helping people.
Free Consultation
We offer every potential personal injury client a free, no-obligation consultation at any of our five locations throughout Long Island. During the consultation, we will discuss your case in detail and give you our opinion on the chances of success. We will also discuss our potential strategy and our process for handling your case. If after fully discussing your case we feel it is a good fit for our Long Island Car Accident law firm, we will discuss our fees and give you the option of moving forward with us as your lawyers.
