$5.5 Million Dollar
Landmark Victory
In a case that garnered a great deal of media attention, Long Island personal injury attorney Steven Palermo took on the State of New York on behalf of a young woman that was assaulted by a mistakenly released convicted sexual predator. It is the first time in the history of New York that the State was held liable for the mistaken release of a prisoner and also led to changes in the way the courts process their records.

Fighting for Injured People
Across Long Island
I’m Steven Palermo, a Long Island personal injury lawyer with nearly three decades of experience representing people whose lives have been changed by serious accidents. I built my practice on honesty, personal attention, and a willingness to take on powerful insurance companies and corporations when they refuse to do what’s right.
My commitment to personal injury law comes from being in your shoes. Years ago, I was in a severe accident when my car was rear-ended by a box truck and pushed into oncoming traffic. I lived through the pain, the uncertainty, and the frustration of dealing with insurance companies that questioned my injuries and tried to shift blame instead of taking responsibility. Experiencing that process firsthand showed me how unfair it can be for injured people who are just trying to recover and move forward.
Today, I’ve represented hundreds of injured clients across Long Island and recovered more than $75 million on their behalf. I approach every case knowing there is a real person behind it, someone dealing with pain, stress, and uncertainty, because I’ve been there myself.

Get Well Acquainted With Your Hauppauge Personal Injury Attorney
It’s important that you find a personal injury attorney that you feel comfortable with. The right firm will give you an opportunity to speak directly to the attorney who will be managing your case, so that you can get a sense of whether or not they are right for you.
You want an attorney that explains things to you in a way that you fully understand and will take the confusion out of the process. The legal process can be complicated, and if you are not well informed, it will be harder to make necessary decisions down the line. Retaining an attorney that either does not explain things well or that doesn’t keep the lines of communication open can make the entire process much more stressful.
It Is Okay If You’ve Already Started the Process.
Many clients wonder if they can still pursue a law suit if they’ve already begun communication with the insurance company. The truth is, while it is always better to contact an attorney as soon as possible, an attorney can still take on your case if you’ve already started working on your claim. Once you meet with us and retain us, we diligently collect all information from the insurance company on what’s been done so far. We inform the adjuster that we have been retained, and that all communication will now go through our office, so that our clients can be relieved of the stressful process and focus on their recovery.
Contact a Hauppauge Personal Injury Attorney Who Cares
While there are some questions that can only be answered by an attorney, our managing partner Steve Palermo is accessible to his clients. A staff member can always make an appointment with him so that our clients can speak with and get information directly from their attorney. Here at Palermo Law, we care about our clients and our level of personal service.
