Personal Injury cases in Nassau County
A lawsuit over an injury in Nassau County can be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County, whose civil courthouse is at 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola. New York’s venue rules generally place a case in the county where one of the parties lives or where a substantial part of the events took place (CPLR 503(a)), so choosing the county is one of the first decisions in a case.
A claim against Nassau County itself, or against a town, village, or school district within it, generally requires a notice of claim within 90 days (General Municipal Law § 50-e), and the lawsuit generally must be started within one year and 90 days (General Municipal Law § 50-i) — far sooner than the three years that apply to most negligence claims. A suit against the county or one of its towns, villages, or school districts is generally heard in Nassau County (CPLR 504).
