Suing the Long Island Departments

NY Attorneys Handling Lawsuits Against Long Island Fire Departments And Negligent Third Parties

There are almost 200 professional and volunteer fire departments on Long Island, charged with protecting 7.6 million lives and billions of dollars in property. The success of these companies comes largely from the brave men and women who are willing to put themselves in harm’s way for the sake of their communities. So, when Long Island firefighters suffer on-the-job injuries, they deserve full, fair compensation. If you’ve suffered a serious injury and a negligent third party or your own fire department was at fault, you should consult a qualified attorney with experience in firefighter injury cases. Located in New York City, Barasch & McGarry represents firefighters from Nassau and Suffolk counties and throughout Long Island. We have a long history of success advocating for firefighter rights.

I want to personally thank you and your whole law firm collectively for the unwavering devotion and professionalism to not only me, but the entire fire dept. family. The compassion and deep concerns I experienced by each and every one of your staff can not measure my sincere appreciation. It rivals the dedication we have of honor and duty.
