Handle Each Case
Since establishing our practice on Long Island, we’ve cultivated a reputation for excellence that stems from our innovative approach to personal injury law. Our team doesn’t just process cases — we devote ourselves to understanding the unique dynamics of the communities we serve, from the historic neighborhoods of Garden City to the coastal villages of Suffolk County.
Our track record of securing over $700 million in verdicts and settlements stems from our unwavering commitment to each client’s well-being. When insurance companies attempt to dodge payouts, our extensive trial experience and intimate understanding of New York injury law make the difference in securing fair compensation.
Suffolk County has the dubious distinction of being one of New York’s most hazardous areas for traffic safety. With 10.2 deaths per 100,000 residents in 2023 — nearly quadruple New York City’s rate and double the state average — the numbers paint a sobering picture.
This troubling pattern isn’t new. Suffolk County has consistently had the highest traffic fatality rate among New York’s 20 most populous counties over the past decade, averaging 9.2 deaths annually per 100,000 residents. These statistics represent families whose lives have been forever changed by preventable accidents.
The skilled attorneys at Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP, assist clients who have suffered injuries in all of the following types of accidents:
Long Island’s unique combination of roadways, which include both bustling expressways and scenic coastal routes, creates distinct challenges for motorists. We investigate crashes thoroughly, working with accident reconstruction specialists to build compelling cases.
Long Island’s wide variety of public and private properties demands vigilant maintenance and security. From Garden City shopping centers to beachfront properties in Southampton, property owners must protect visitors from harm. When safety measures fail, our attorneys investigate every key detail.
A breach of duty by a medical professional or attorney can lead to severe and lasting harm. Our team collaborates with outside experts throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties to build strong cases demonstrating negligence and secure appropriate compensation for our clients.
Long Island’s construction boom presents heightened risks for workers. Our thorough knowledge of New York labor laws and OSHA regulations enables us to secure maximum compensation for injured workers, whether at high-rise developments in Mineola or waterfront projects in Port Jefferson.
Jobsite Slip/Trip and Falls
These challenging situations call for the intervention of legal professionals who can balance procedural ability with genuine empathy. We provide supportive, discreet representation while pursuing justice against negligent institutions and individuals across Long Island.
No two injury cases are alike, which is why they require a holistic legal approach. We’ll work with medical specialists, life-care planners, and financial professionals across Long Island to ensure that your compensation covers both your immediate needs and your long-term care.

Pursuing formal compensation requires managing a complex interplay of local ordinances, state laws, and insurance regulations. Our approach begins with a detailed analysis of where your accident took place, as location often influences both liability standards and potential compensation sources.
When you’re hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault, it’s critical to document everything you can. Seek immediate medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries, as medical records will serve as crucial evidence for your claim.
Our lawyers coordinate with first responders across both counties to obtain detailed incident reports and prioritize speaking with witnesses before their memories fade. This kind of swift action often reveals vital details that strengthen the claimant’s position.
Long Island’s medical community plays a central role in injury cases.
We’ve established relationships with leading specialists from area hospitals, ensuring that our clients receive excellent care and proper documentation of their injuries. These partnerships may prove invaluable when demonstrating the full scope of your damages to insurance adjusters or local juries.
Our understanding of Long Island’s unique insurance environment gives our clients an edge in settlement talks. We know which insurers operate locally and their typical settlement patterns. These insights, combined with our track record of winning favorable verdicts in Nassau and Suffolk courts, help us secure fair settlement offers without the need for protracted litigation.
Personal injury victims often face mounting medical bills while unable to work. At Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP, our mission extends beyond obtaining immediate compensation. We’ll pursue the necessary resources to support your recovery and future security. This may include:
When you work with an attorney from our firm, they’ll determine the types of damages you’re eligible to recover and calculate their full value to make sure you get the assistance you need.

Our accomplished lawyers boast decades of experience in Nassau and Suffolk County courts. As a result, we know how to present evidence effectively and counter common defense strategies.
Success in personal injury cases often hinges on thorough investigation and strategic timing.
We’ll work quickly to preserve surveillance footage from local businesses, gather statements from eyewitnesses, and document changing conditions that might affect your case. This proactive approach will enable us to put together a robust case and fortify your position in settlement negotiations or at trial.
The communal nature of Long Island can also influence the trajectory of personal injury cases. From jury selection to final settlement values, we understand how different areas respond to various types of claims, allowing us to build stronger cases and secure better outcomes for our clients.
Understanding the fundamental elements of a personal injury case can improve your chances of receiving the fair and adequate compensation you’re seeking. Our legal team meticulously builds each case around four essential components that New York law requires for successful claims:
We’ll set out to clearly show how the defendant failed to meet their obligations. Through carefully gathered evidence and expert testimony, we’ll then connect those failures to your injuries, crafting a compelling case for compensation.
The path to just compensation has several distinct phases, each requiring careful attention to established legal requirements and procedures. Insurance companies often try to rush settlements before victims understand their full rights under New York law. Our seasoned attorneys will guide you through each pivotal step while protecting your interests.
Immediately after taking your case, we’ll launch a comprehensive investigation. Our talented investigators will visit the accident scene to collect vital evidence before it disappears. We’ll focus on securing surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, and obtaining official reports while documenting every aspect of your injuries and their effects.
We can work with medical specialists in Long Island to develop a complete understanding of the long-term implications of your injuries. Our lawyers frequently consult life-care planners and economic experts to calculate the value of our clients’ claims, including future medical needs and lost earning potential.
Armed with cogent evidence and clear documentation of your losses, we’ll engage in strategic negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurer. Our reputation for steadfast advocacy often prompts fair settlement offers, though we won’t hesitate to take your case to court if necessary.
If settlement talks don’t yield appropriate compensation, our formidable trial lawyers will begin preparing for the courtroom. There, we’ll present your story in a moving and unignorable manner while pushing for maximum compensation.
New York’s statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims.
Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, though claims against municipalities require notice to be given within 90 days. Medical malpractice cases have a two-and-a-half-year deadline, while wrongful death claims must be filed within two years.
Missing these cut-offs will typically bar you from recovering your rightful compensation, making trustworthy legal representation imperative.
