East Hampton is the easternmost town in New York, a stretch of the South Fork that takes in the village of East Hampton along with Amagansett, Springs, Wainscott, Montauk, and part of Sag Harbor. People look for an East Hampton personal injury lawyer after a crash on Montauk Highway, a fall at a rental or restaurant, or an accident on a job site. Mashriqi Law pursues the drivers, property owners, contractors, and insurers responsible. We are headquartered in Flushing, Queens, and accept injury cases from every corner of New York State.
Phone us around the clock at (718) 750-0000. Talking to an East Hampton personal injury attorney about your situation is free.
Summer on the East End squeezes jitneys, landscaping trucks, rental cars, and cyclists onto the same two-lane roads. An East Hampton car accident attorney can take the insurance fight off your plate while you recover.
Our approach is straightforward. A dedicated case manager keeps you informed throughout, and you can also reach your attorney directly any time you want to. Our Google reviews average 5 stars, and an East Hampton car accident lawyer at our firm works to keep it that way.
Your Attorney, Within Reach.
Your case manager handles the routine: forms, records requests, and carrier calls. When something important comes up, you can ask for Attorney Yasmeen Mashriqi, because your lawyer should be easy to reach.
Silence breeds worry, so an East Hampton car accident attorney from our office does not leave you guessing. Each step is explained before it begins, and calls come back quickly.
The South Fork is a long trip from Queens. Let us know when you reach out, and someone from our firm can meet you at your house, in a hospital room, or another place in New York. Second-home owners often keep the whole case remote, which suits an East Hampton personal injury lawyer just as well.
Speed matters, so we lock down witnesses and video early, open the insurance claims, and build a demand that supports a fair result.
An East Hampton car accident attorney consultation is free, and injury cases are handled on contingency. If nothing is recovered, you owe neither a fee nor any case costs.

In the village, Montauk Highway (Route 27) becomes Main Street and then Pantigo Road, crossing Newtown Lane and North Main Street on the way. Route 114, the East Hampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike, runs north toward Sag Harbor, and Three Mile Harbor Road and Springs Fireplace Road lead into Springs. Main Beach and Georgica draw crowds, and the town airport sits in Wainscott. Our firm handles these matters most often.
Summer-crawl collisions, cars pulling out of beach lots, and head-on crashes on dark roads toward Montauk bring clients to an East Hampton car accident lawyer. Adjusters may call quickly, but you are not required to give a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer.
Inattention, speed, and alcohol or drugs cause most of these crashes. New York requires drivers to match their speed to the traffic and weather, and both texting and handheld phone use are illegal behind the wheel. An East Hampton car accident attorney uses those duties to establish fault.
Under no-fault, treatment costs and a portion of missed earnings are generally covered by the insurer of the car you occupied, no matter who caused the crash, but pain and suffering is not included. To pursue the at-fault driver for more, your injury must meet the "serious injury" standard of Insurance Law § 5102(d); broken bones, significant disfigurement, and lasting or significant restrictions on how part of the body functions are among the qualifying categories. The "90/180-day" category was dropped for suits filed on or after May 26, 2026, and an East Hampton car accident lawyer documents injuries with that change in mind.
First moves on a case:

Landscaping trailers and dump trucks crowd Montauk Highway in season. An East Hampton truck accident lawyer examines everyone involved: the driver, the employer or carrier, the vehicle owner, the loading company, the maintenance shop, and any manufacturer of a failed part.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration sets hours-of-service rules for interstate trucking, and most carriers track those hours on electronic logging devices. Commercial drivers fall under federal drug and alcohol testing requirements. A for-hire interstate carrier of general freight must hold no less than $750,000 in liability coverage, and some loads require more. Engine data can reveal speed and braking, so we send preservation demands fast. Truck crashes are motor vehicle cases, and an East Hampton truck accident lawyer applies the no-fault rules, the serious injury threshold, and the 2026 fault changes.

The ride out to Montauk is popular with bikers. An East Hampton motorcycle accident lawyer will tell you plainly that no-fault in New York does not cover the motorcyclist's own injuries. Paying for treatment and replacing wages often comes down to your health plan and a claim against whichever driver was careless.
Shoppers on Newtown Lane face heavy traffic. New York drivers owe pedestrians due care and must yield at crosswalks that have no traffic signal. An East Hampton pedestrian accident lawyer will point out that walkers struck by vehicles usually get no-fault benefits from a household auto policy or, lacking one, from the policy of the car that hit them, even in a lot or driveway. A serious injury permits a claim for pain and suffering. If the driver vanished, look to your own policy or MVAIC, both of which impose tight notice deadlines.

Route 27 through East Hampton is part of a state bicycle route, and summer brings riders onto narrow shoulders. A cyclist hit by a car can usually collect no-fault through an auto policy at home or through the striking vehicle's coverage, and a serious injury opens a claim for full damages. When road conditions caused the crash, the town or county may be responsible, and claims against them generally need notice in 90 days. Call an East Hampton bicycle accident lawyer soon.

Visitors rely on Uber and Lyft to reach the train and beaches. An East Hampton rideshare accident lawyer helps passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and rideshare drivers hurt by others, and works out which of the app's policy, the other motorist's, and yours must pay.

Suffolk County Transit buses serve the town, and Hampton Jitney coaches run between the East End and New York City. An East Hampton bus accident attorney knows that when a sudden jolt causes the injury, courts in New York generally expect evidence the movement went beyond routine bumps and was unusual and violent. Who owns and runs the bus controls the deadlines. Public operators can require a notice of claim inside 90 days and a suit inside 1 year and 90 days, while private coach companies generally get the ordinary 3-year period unless a public body is involved. An East Hampton bus accident lawyer also examines how the 2026 changes to vehicle-case fault rules bear on your bus claim.

Home building never stops on the South Fork. An East Hampton construction accident lawyer works with New York's Labor Law:
One important limit for East Hampton: §§ 240 and 241 generally exempt the owner of a one- or two-family house who leaves direction and control of the work to others. Against your own employer, workers' compensation is generally the exclusive remedy outside narrow situations such as certain grave injuries. General contractors and other companies, though, can face a third-party lawsuit. Immigration status generally does not prevent the claims an East Hampton construction accident lawyer files.

Landscapers, restaurant staff, and fishing industry workers get hurt on the job here. Your employer should get written notice within 30 days, and the comp claim generally must be filed with the Board within 2 years. Although comp usually prevents suing your employer, an East Hampton workplace injury lawyer looks for an outside party whose negligence allows a separate claim.
Owners and businesses have to keep property reasonably safe. An East Hampton slip and fall lawyer sees falls on wet restaurant floors, broken steps at rentals, slippery pool decks, and icy walkways off-season. Generally, the claim turns on whether the owner made the hazard, or had actual or constructive notice of it and let it remain. An East Hampton slip and fall attorney also watches for town property, where a 90-day notice of claim may apply.
We look at whether the owner knew, or had reason to know, of the animal's aggressive tendencies, which is the basis for liability. Medical bills may also be recoverable if the dog was previously declared "dangerous" under state law, and an East Hampton dog bite lawyer knows home insurance policies frequently respond to these claims.
A wrongful death claim belongs to the estate's personal representative, so an executor or administrator is usually appointed through Surrogate's Court first. Funeral costs and the family's financial losses can be recovered, and a related claim may seek damages for conscious pain and suffering. Suit generally must begin within 2 years after the death, and public-entity claims may need notice much sooner. An East Hampton wrongful death lawyer handles these cases with compassion.

The LIRR's Montauk Branch stops at East Hampton station on Railroad Avenue, as well as Amagansett and Montauk. The LIRR belongs to the MTA, so a notice of claim generally must be served within 90 days, and a lawsuit filed within 1 year and 90 days, so reach an East Hampton train accident lawyer quickly.
Summer workers often ride e-bikes and scooters, and they get blamed after crashes. An East Hampton electric scooter accident lawyer checks the driver's coverage and any household policy.
Brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and serious burns bring lifelong costs. An East Hampton catastrophic injury lawyer documents future care, lost earning capacity, and home modifications with your doctors' help.
The first days after a Montauk Highway crash can decide a lot about your claim.
New York treats leaving an injury crash as a crime, as any East Hampton car accident lawyer will remind you.
Exceptions exist, and an East Hampton personal injury attorney can check which deadlines apply to you.
Outside vehicle cases, such as falls and construction accidents, New York applies pure comparative negligence. Being partly at fault lowers your recovery by your share without ending the claim. An East Hampton slip and fall lawyer would note that a person 10% at fault still recovers 90%. Wrongful death actions also stay pure comparative.
Vehicle crash suits have a new rule. For motor vehicle injury suits brought on or after May 26, 2026, CPLR § 1411(b), as amended, bars recovery for a claimant more at fault than the defendants; otherwise the recovery shrinks by the claimant's percentage. The jury resolves fault before considering whether the injury is serious, and an East Hampton car accident attorney prepares liability evidence accordingly.
No-fault pays basic economic loss regardless of fault but excludes pain and suffering, so a suit for everything else depends on proving a statutory serious injury. Expect the insurer to schedule an exam with a doctor of its choosing; you can still treat with your own physicians.
An East Hampton personal injury lawyer may pursue present and future medical expenses, lost income and diminished earning capacity, and out-of-pocket costs. Human losses count as well, including physical pain, emotional distress, lost enjoyment of daily life, and scars or disfigurement. Death cases can include funeral expenses, financial losses to the family, and the deceased's conscious suffering. Punitive damages are rare, for especially reckless conduct.
