Meet Steven Palermo, Personal Injury Lawyer
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.

Ensure safety, call 911, exchange information, photograph the scene, and seek medical attention even for minor symptoms to create a timely record.

Most personal injury lawsuits arising from car accidents must be filed within three years, while property-only claims have shorter deadlines.
What evidence strengthens a Huntington car accident claim?
Scene photos, dash-cam footage, black-box data, prompt medical records, and unbiased witness testimony corroborate fault and injury severity.
What if the accident involved a rideshare vehicle such as Uber or Lyft?
