Car & Motor Vehicle Accidents matters we handle in Staten Island

Local courts and deadlines

Staten Island car accident cases are generally handled in Richmond County Supreme Court at 18 Richmond Terrace in St. George. Claims involving the City of New York or a public hospital carry shorter notice deadlines — often a notice of claim within 90 days — so it is important to act quickly to protect your rights.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Legal deadlines (statutes of limitation) are strict and vary by the facts of your case — including shorter notice periods when a city or public hospital is involved. Speak with an attorney promptly to protect your rights.

From our office at 400 Madison Avenue, we serve Staten Island clients with decades of trial experience, native Spanish- and Russian-speaking staff, and free, confidential consultations. You pay attorney’s fees only if we recover for you, and if travel is difficult we can meet by phone.
