Nassau County Personal Injury Lawyer

When an accident turns your life upside down, the last thing you should worry about is fighting insurance companies alone. At Miller, Montiel & Strano, P.C., our Nassau County personal injury lawyers have been standing up for injured New Yorkers for over five decades. From our office at 600 Old Country Road in Garden City, we serve injury victims across Nassau County and all of Long Island — delivering the serious legal representation that serious injuries demand.

What Is a Personal Injury Lawyer — and What Do We Do?

A personal injury attorney represents people who have been hurt due to someone else's negligence. That means we investigate your accident, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance carriers, and — when necessary — take your case to trial in courts like the Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola or the Nassau County District Court in Hempstead.

Our job is to prove liability and fight for every dollar of compensation you are owed: medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs. We handle everything so you can focus on recovering.

Why Nassau County Injury Victims Choose Miller, Montiel & Strano

There are many injury lawyers on Long Island. What sets Miller, Montiel & Strano apart is a track record built over five decades, a client-first approach, and a team of trial-tested attorneys who genuinely care about outcomes.

A Team That Has Earned Its Reputation

Senior Partner Steven Miller has tried cases for catastrophically injured victims for five decades, securing numerous seven-figure verdicts.

Managing Partner Catherine M. Montiel brings decades of plaintiff-side experience, including her formative years at a prominent Manhattan personal injury firm.

Partner David M. Strano has been with the firm since 1993, known for keeping clients fully informed at every stage.

Each of our attorneys has been recognized as a Super Lawyer — an honor awarded to fewer than 5% of attorneys in New York. The firm is also Lead Counsel Verified and AV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, among other notable recognitions.

Every Case Is Handled by a Partner — Not a Paralegal

At most large firms, your file lands on a paralegal's desk after the first meeting. That does not happen here. At Miller, Montiel & Strano, every case is managed by a partner from start to finish. You have the same attorney throughout your entire case, someone who knows your name, your situation, and your goals.

Our attorneys make home and hospital visits, return calls promptly, and are available 24/7. That kind of dedicated, personalized service is rare — and it makes a real difference in outcomes.

No Recovery, No Fee

Our firm works on a contingency basis. If we do not recover compensation for you, you pay nothing. No upfront costs. No hourly billing. Our success is tied directly to yours.

Serving Nassau County and All of Long Island

Miller, Montiel & Strano serves clients across Nassau County, including communities such as Garden City, Mineola, Hempstead, Valley Stream, Freeport, Levittown, Hicksville, Long Beach, Great Neck, and Uniondale. We also serve clients throughout Suffolk County and the greater Long Island area.

As a Long Island personal injury lawyer firm rooted in Nassau County, we understand the local roads, courts, and insurance landscape — and we use that knowledge to your advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a personal injury lawyer after an accident?
You are not legally required to hire an attorney, but having a personal injury lawyer significantly increases your chances of receiving fair compensation. Insurance companies have legal teams working to minimize your payout — you should have an advocate protecting your interests.

What is a personal injury lawyer?
A personal injury lawyer is an attorney who represents people injured by the negligence or wrongful actions of others. They handle legal filings, evidence gathering, negotiations, and litigation on behalf of injured clients.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Nassau County, NY?
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. Claims against government entities may have a shorter notice period. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your right to file.

Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under New York's comparative negligence law, you can still recover damages even if you share some fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — so if you are 20% at fault, you may still recover 80% of the total damages.

How much does a personal injury attorney cost?
Miller, Montiel & Strano works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no fees unless we win your case. There are no out-of-pocket costs to get started.
