Handling traumatic cases requires more than legal knowledge — it demands tenacity. Lawyers representing injury victims frequently encounter harrowing circumstances, from workplace amputations to medical errors. Our attorneys are equipped to challenge insurance companies that aggressively minimize our clients' claims, backed by expert witnesses, medical records, and thorough evidence preservation strategies.
Employment Law for Huntington Workers
The Route 110 corridor is one of Long Island's busiest commercial zones, home to thousands of workers in offices, retail, healthcare, and construction. A Huntington labor and employment lawyer helps workers navigate disputes including unpaid overtime, safety violations, and wrongful terminations — and because our office sits on Walt Whitman Road, Huntington employees can meet with a labor attorney minutes from where they work. We enforce protections under federal and state law, including:
- Workplace discrimination based on race, sex, age, disability, religion, or national origin
- Wrongful termination in violation of state and federal anti-discrimination statutes
- Pregnancy discrimination and violations of New York's expanded Paid Family Leave Act
- Employer retaliation against workers who report harassment, safety violations, or fraud
- Wage and hour violations including unpaid overtime, tip theft, and worker misclassification
- Disability discrimination & denied accommodations — ignored medical restrictions, refused schedule changes, and "100% healed" return-to-work policies
- Whistleblower retaliation under NY Labor Law §740 — and §741 for healthcare workers at Huntington Hospital and area practices
Complex employment cases often hinge on detailed evidence. Documentation like emails, text messages, shift logs, and pay stubs can make or break a claim. If you face harassment or unsafe conditions at a Huntington-area workplace, report it in writing immediately and keep copies of everything. A lawyer can then help file claims with the EEOC or New York's Division of Human Rights, often securing back pay or reinstatement.
When Personal Injury & Employment Law Intersect
An injury at work might involve two legal paths: workers' compensation and a personal injury lawsuit. For instance, a delivery driver hurt in a crash on Route 110 caused by another driver could file for workers' comp while also suing the at-fault motorist. A construction worker injured due to inadequate safety gear could pursue:
- Workers' compensation benefits covering medical costs and partial lost wages
- A third-party liability claim against the equipment supplier for defective gear
- A pain and suffering claim to recover additional damages not covered by workers' comp
Critical Deadlines: Don't Wait
Legal deadlines — statutes of limitations — impose strict timeframes for filing claims. Missing them forfeits your rights entirely.
- Personal injury: 3 years from the date of the accident in most cases
- Municipal claims: 90 days to file a Notice of Claim against a government entity
- EEOC discrimination charges: 300 days from the discriminatory act — sometimes less
- No-fault application: written notice to your own insurer within 30 days of the crash (11 NYCRR 65-1.1)
Forward-thinking law firms recognize that legal struggles often impact mental health as well. A construction worker battling depression after an injury might need therapy referrals alongside legal help. Our firm views holistic support as part of effective representation. The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C. plays a vital role in leveling the playing field — especially against well-funded opponents.

Car Accident Lawyer in Huntington, Suffolk County
Huntington is Suffolk County's most populous town, with Route 110 serving as the main artery from the LIE north through Huntington Station to the Cold Spring Harbor waterfront. Heavy commuter traffic, commercial trucking from nearby industrial corridors, and Hauppauge Industrial Park overflow on Route 110 make this one of Long Island's most accident-prone thoroughfares. The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum is based at 326 Walt Whitman Road in Huntington Station — in the heart of the community we serve.
All Huntington car accident lawsuits are filed at Suffolk County Supreme Court (235 Griffing Avenue, Riverhead, NY 11901). If a Town of Huntington or Suffolk County vehicle caused your crash, you have only 90 days under General Municipal Law § 50-e to file a Notice of Claim.
New York's no-fault law requires you to file a PIP claim with your own insurer within 30 days of the accident. No-fault covers medical bills (up to $50,000) but does not pay for pain and suffering. To pursue those damages, injuries must meet the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law § 5102(d). Under CPLR § 1411, being partly at fault reduces your recovery by your share; in car accident cases commenced on or after May 26, 2026, you cannot recover if your share of fault is greater than the other side's.
For how we handle these claims island-wide — including no-fault, the serious injury threshold, and evidence preservation — see our Long Island car accident lawyer overview.
