Injured in a Nassau County car accident? You need a car accident lawyer who knows how to fight — and win. Miller, Montiel & Strano, P.C. has been protecting New York injury victims for five decades. Every case is handled directly by a partner. No handoffs. No runarounds. Just focused, aggressive representation from day one.

After a Car Accident, Everything Feels Uncertain — We Change That

A crash on Hempstead Turnpike, Sunrise Highway, or Merrick Road can upend your life in seconds. Medical bills stack up fast. Insurance companies call with lowball offers before you've even seen a doctor. You may be unable to work, yet the financial pressure keeps building.

This is exactly where a skilled car accident attorney makes the difference. Miller, Montiel & Strano, P.C. steps in, takes the burden off your shoulders, and goes after every dollar of compensation you are owed — for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

What Our Car Accident Attorneys Handle in Nassau County

As a full-service motor vehicle accident law firm, we represent victims in all types of car accident cases, including:

• Rear-end collisions — often caused by distracted or tailgating drivers
• T-bone and intersection crashes — common along Nassau County's busiest corridors
• Head-on collisions — among the most catastrophic and legally complex
• Drunk and distracted driving accidents — we hold reckless drivers accountable
• Multi-vehicle pileups — requiring thorough investigation to establish fault

We know the roads, the insurance companies, and the Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola. That local knowledge matters in every case we handle.

Why Nassau County Accident Victims Choose Miller, Montiel & Strano

Other firms pass your file to a paralegal. That does not happen here.

• Partner-handled from start to finish — Senior Partner Steven Miller, Managing Partner Catherine M. Montiel, and Partner David M. Strano each carry a direct caseload. You keep the same attorney throughout your entire case.
• Five decades of trial experience — Steven Miller has obtained numerous seven-figure verdicts for catastrophically injured clients.
• Named Super Lawyers — a distinction awarded to only 5% of attorneys in New York.
• AV-rated and AVVO-recognized — reflecting the highest standards of legal ability and ethics.
• 24/7 availability — our attorneys take calls around the clock and make home and hospital visits when needed.
• No recovery, no fee — if we do not recover money damages for you, you owe us nothing.

Case Results: Real Compensation for Real People

• $400,000 Settlement — Car collision resulting in aggravation of an arthritic knee from a rear-end impact, requiring arthroscopic surgery.
• $131,000 Recovery — Five-car pileup in which the insurance company disputed both causation and severity of a wrist fracture. Detailed discovery proved otherwise.

Every case is different. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in New York?
New York's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly preserves evidence and strengthens your case.

Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under New York's comparative negligence law, you can still recover damages even if you share some fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

What if the other driver has no insurance?
You may still recover compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys will identify every available source of recovery.

Do I have to go to court?
Most auto accident cases resolve through settlement. However, if the insurance company refuses a fair offer, Miller, Montiel & Strano is fully prepared to take your case to trial at Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola.

What does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — no fee unless we win your case.
