Long Island Personal Injury
& Employment Lawyer

Long Island Employment & Personal Injury Attorney

The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C. has built its reputation on resolving high-stakes personal injury and employment disputes across Long Island and the New York metro area. Based in Huntington Station, we are a truly local firm — familiar with Nassau County Supreme Court, Suffolk County courts, and the insurance companies and defense attorneys who populate the Long Island litigation landscape.

Whether you were rear-ended on the Long Island Expressway, hurt in a slip and fall at a Nassau County shopping center, or pushed out of your job in violation of state law, acting quickly often determines the outcome. Our team combines aggressive advocacy with meticulous preparation to secure the results Long Islanders deserve.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle on Long Island

Personal injury law holds negligent parties accountable — giving victims a path to recover medical costs, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering. On Long Island, the most common cases our firm handles include:

• ✓ Car accidents on the LIE, Sunrise Highway, Northern State Parkway, and local roads throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties
• ✓ Truck accidents involving commercial vehicles on Long Island's major corridors
• ✓ Slip and fall injuries at retail stores, parking lots, rental properties, and public spaces
• ✓ Medical malpractice at Long Island hospitals, surgical centers, and healthcare providers
• ✓ Wrongful death claims for families who lost loved ones due to someone else’s negligence
• ✓ Dog bites and animal attacks under New York's strict liability framework
• ✓ Pedestrian accidents at crosswalks and busy intersections across Long Island
• ✓ Premises liability for injuries caused by dangerous or poorly maintained property

The key to successful personal injury claims is speed. Gathering evidence quickly — accident scene photos, witness statements, surveillance footage before it's overwritten — often determines whether a case settles for full value or a fraction of what's deserved.

Employment Law for Long Island Workers

Long Island employees face the same workplace injustices as workers anywhere — discrimination, retaliation, unpaid wages, and unlawful termination. New York provides some of the strongest employment protections in the nation. Our firm enforces those rights aggressively, including:

• → Workplace discrimination based on race, sex, age, disability, religion, or national origin under state and federal law
• → Wrongful termination in violation of anti-discrimination statutes or whistleblower protections
• → Pregnancy discrimination and violations of New York's expanded Paid Family Leave Act
• → Employer retaliation against workers who report harassment, safety violations, or wage theft
• → Wage and hour violations including unpaid overtime, tip theft, and worker misclassification

Recent legislative changes reflect New York's continued commitment to worker protections — from expanded harassment standards to stronger pregnancy accommodation requirements. Our firm stays ahead of these updates, deploying new protections on behalf of Long Island clients the moment they take effect.

The Impact of Strong Legal Advocacy

Accidents and workplace injustice leave victims facing medical bills, lost income, and emotional strain on top of the harm itself. The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum anticipates the tactics used against clients and counters them through:

• • Meticulous preservation of evidence — surveillance footage, employment records, and digital communications
• • Expert witness networks including accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, and vocational experts
• • Deep familiarity with Nassau and Suffolk County courts, judges, and recent jury verdicts
• • Trial-ready preparation that signals serious intent to insurers and defense counsel — accelerating fair settlements

Whether you're recovering from an injury or resolving a workplace conflict, the decisions made in the early days of your case can define its outcome. Our attorneys guide Long Island clients through every step — from the first call to final resolution.

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 (towns, counties, school districts): 90 days to file a Notice of Claim
• ! EEOC discrimination charges: 300 days from the discriminatory act — sometimes less
• ! Surveillance footage: typically overwritten within 30–90 days — act immediately to preserve it
