New Rochelle Personal Injury Lawyer

A downtown under construction

New Rochelle has been rebuilding its center with high-rise development for years. For anyone walking through it, that means sidewalk sheds, narrowed walkways, pedestrian routing around hoisting zones and temporary lighting — conditions that produce injuries the surrounding suburbs simply do not generate.

For the workers building it, New York’s Labor Law applies with full force. See our construction accident page and the Labor Law 240 page.

I-95 and the Hutchinson

Interstate 95 runs through the city carrying interstate freight, and the Hutchinson River Parkway carries the commuter load on a 1930s alignment. Those two produce the high-speed and commercial-vehicle collisions; Main Street and North Avenue produce the pedestrian and turning ones.

Where a New Rochelle claim goes

Westchester County Supreme Court in White Plains hears the injury claims. New Rochelle City Court handles local matters.

We do not have an office here

Our offices are in White Plains, Nyack, Nanuet and Brooklyn. We serve this community from those offices and will meet you at home or in hospital if traveling is difficult.

If a municipal vehicle, county bus, school district or public sidewalk was involved, a notice of claim is generally required within 90 days under General Municipal Law §50-e — not the ordinary three years. Establishing which entity is responsible is the first task.
