Helping those in need obtain the
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.

frequently asked questions

We handle a wide range of personal injury cases including car accidents, slip and fall injuries, wrongful death claims, motorcycle and scooter accidents, construction accidents, dog bites, and workplace injuries throughout Suffolk County.

In Suffolk County, you typically have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Exceptions may apply, especially in cases involving municipalities or wrongful death, making it essential to consult an attorney promptly.

The value of your case depends on factors such as injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and liability. An experienced attorney will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine its full worth and fight for maximum compensation.

While you can legally handle your claim independently, hiring an experienced Suffolk County personal injury attorney significantly increases your chance of securing fair compensation. An attorney understands local laws, negotiation tactics, and insurance company practices.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is only collected as a percentage of your recovery if and when we win your case, eliminating financial risk for our clients.

After an accident, seek medical attention, report the incident to authorities, document evidence and witness statements, avoid admitting fault, and contact a reputable Suffolk County personal injury attorney as soon as possible. 

Learn more about the steps to take after an accident. 

The timeline varies based on complexity, injury severity, and the willingness of insurance companies to settle fairly. Most cases take several months to over a year; however, we prioritize efficient resolutions that maximize compensation.

Essential evidence includes medical records, accident reports, witness testimony, photos/videos of the accident scene and injuries, expert testimony, and financial documentation showing damages. Thorough evidence significantly strengthens your claim.

To prove negligence, you must show the defendant owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries resulting in damages. Our attorneys meticulously investigate and build strong negligence claims to secure compensation.

Typically, medical bills initially get covered by no-fault insurance (in auto accidents), health insurance, or workers' compensation. Ultimately, the responsible party's insurance will reimburse these costs as part of your personal injury settlement.
