FREEPORT, NY - K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. has opened a new office in Freeport, expanding access to injury representation for residents across Nassau County and Long Island. Long Island personal injury lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez of K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/nassau-county-personal-injury-attorney/) is now serving accident victims throughout the region from the firm's new location at 8 W Merrick Road in Freeport.
According to Long Island personal injury lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez, the new office reflects growing demand for accessible legal representation outside the firm's original Queens base. Nassau County's major roadways, including Sunrise Highway, Hempstead Turnpike, and Merrick Road, carry heavy traffic volumes that contribute to thousands of accidents each year, and residents also face risks from unsafe properties and dangerous construction sites. "Many injured clients on Long Island were traveling considerable distances to reach our Queens office," explains Sanchez. "Opening in Freeport removes that barrier and lets us serve this community more directly."
Long Island personal injury lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez handles a range of injury matters, including motor vehicle collisions, truck accidents, slip and fall claims, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, and construction accidents. Under New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 214, most personal injury claims carry a three-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident. Claims against Nassau County or a municipality are more time-sensitive, requiring a Notice of Claim within 90 days under General Municipal Law Section 50-e, making prompt legal consultation important for those who have been injured.
Attorney Sanchez brings hands-on experience to construction injury cases, having worked as a trial litigation paralegal on claims under New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241 before founding the firm. "Construction workers in New York have strong statutory protections, but those rights are only useful if injured workers understand and assert them," Sanchez notes. The Scaffold Law under Section 240 generally requires owners, contractors, and their agents to provide proper safety devices for elevation-related work, while Section 241(6) requires compliance with specific safety rules issued for construction, excavation, and demolition work.
The firm represents clients under New York's pure comparative negligence rule, set out in Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 1411, which permits injured parties to recover compensation even when partially at fault, with any recovery reduced by their assigned percentage of responsibility. New York also operates under a no-fault insurance system, and to pursue a claim for pain and suffering after a motor vehicle accident, an injured person must meet the serious injury threshold defined in Insurance Law Section 5102(d), which includes fractures, significant disfigurement, and permanent limitation of use of a body organ or member.
Sanchez and her team handle communications with insurance companies on behalf of clients, guarding against tactics that can reduce claim value, such as requests for recorded statements, broad medical authorizations, and surveillance. "Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not the injured person," Sanchez points out. "Routing those conversations through counsel helps protect the value of a claim." The firm handles cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless the case results in a settlement or verdict.
Many higher-value Nassau County personal injury lawsuits are filed in Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, while smaller civil matters may proceed in Nassau County District Court. The new Freeport office extends the reach of a practice that also operates a mobile law office, allowing the team to meet clients who cannot easily travel due to injuries or work schedules. The firm serves communities throughout Nassau County, including Hempstead, Garden City, Mineola, Valley Stream, Long Beach, and Rockville Centre, with bilingual staff available for Spanish-speaking clients.
With the opening of the Freeport location, injured residents across Long Island now have a closer option for personal attention and honest guidance. For those facing the aftermath of an accident in Nassau County, contacting a personal injury attorney may help clarify available legal options and protect the right to compensation.
