Local Knowledge
We Know the Roads — and the Courts — in Islip
Sunrise Highway (NY-27), the Southern State Parkway, Montauk Highway (NY-27A), and Main Street through Islip Hamlet are responsible for a large share of the crashes we handle. Rear-end collisions and left-turn accidents are especially common at the intersections along NY-27.
Our Ronkonkoma office is about 8 miles north of Islip Hamlet — roughly 15 minutes up Ocean Avenue. We come to clients when transportation is a barrier.

FAQs
Islip Car Accident Questions
+I was hurt in a crash on Sunrise Highway — what do I do first?
Get medical attention even if you feel okay, document the scene if you can, get the other driver's insurance information, and file a police report. Then call us before talking to the other driver's insurance company.
+Does it matter if the crash was on a state highway versus a town road?
It can. Claims involving roadway design or maintenance defects against the State of New York have a 2-year deadline, and claims against the Town of Islip require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. We identify every responsible party early.
+What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?
Passengers almost always have a clean liability case. You can recover from the driver's policy and, depending on the facts, from other involved drivers as well.
