Claims Against the City and Counties of New York
In a metropolitan area as large as New York City, local government agencies are frequently named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits — but suing a government entity follows different rules than an ordinary claim. An attorney who doesn't understand how these agencies operate in litigation, including strict Notice of Claim deadlines, can put a valid claim at risk before it starts.
Pascale Law has represented clients in claims against New York City, Nassau County, and surrounding municipalities, including an $11.5 million jury verdict against the City of New York on behalf of a child injured falling from defective public park equipment.
- Public sidewalk and park accidents
- Municipal bus and transit accidents
- Government building and premises injuries

Case Result
$11.5 million jury verdict against the City of New York on behalf of a child injured falling from defective public park equipment.
