Personal Injury Lawyers East Hampton, NY

Let’s Help You Take Control Again.

You didn’t expect your entire routine to fall apart. One accident, and now everything’s upside down. Doctor’s visits, missed work, bills you didn’t budget for, and more questions than answers. It’s exhausting. And it’s not fair.

Our personal injury attorneys at Horn Wright, LLP, help people in East Hampton who’ve been hurt by someone else’s careless or reckless choices. We know the streets, the laws, and the way local courts handle these cases. 

Whether you were hit on Route 27, fell outside a storefront on Newtown Lane, or got hurt at work in Georgica, we’ll walk you through your legal options and fight to make sure you’re treated right.

Here’s what you should know about injury claims and how we help clients get their lives back on track.

Car Accidents on Route 27 or Montauk Highway

If you live in East Hampton, you already know Route 27 isn’t exactly forgiving. One minute you’re cruising, the next—backed-up traffic, honking, or worse. Add impatient drivers, seasonal visitors, and zero room to swerve? You’ve got the perfect setup for a crash.

And when it happens to you? It’s a mess.

We see crashes all the time along Route 27 and Montauk Highway, especially near the airport and around Wainscott. The most common causes?

• Rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic
• Left turns without checking twice
• Speeding down straightaways west of Amagansett
• Drivers scrolling their phones or zoning out behind the wheel

New York’s Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 388 says the car’s owner can be held liable, even if they weren’t driving. And if your injuries meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law Section 5102, you’ve got the right to sue for more than your no-fault policy covers.

We’re not just filing paperwork. We’re digging deep: pulling traffic cam footage, talking to witnesses, and making sure your side of the story is backed by facts.

Slip and Falls Around Newtown Lane

You're walking downtown, grabbing coffee, running errands, then you’re on the ground. Wet floors, cracked pavement, icy steps. It doesn’t take much. And when it sends you to urgent care or physical therapy? It’s not “just a fall.”

Businesses and property owners near Newtown Lane are supposed to keep things safe. If they don’t? That’s on them.

Here’s what we see most often:

• Slippery floors with no warning signs. Think coffee spills, rain tracked inside, or someone mopping without posting a sign.
• Broken sidewalks or lifted curbs. Tree roots, old concrete, uneven pavers, especially near the post office and library.
• Damaged entrances or loose tiles. Some of the older shops downtown haven’t updated flooring in years. One loose mat and your ankle’s done.

Under New York premises liability law, property owners are legally responsible for hazards they knew about or should’ve known about. This 2012 East Hampton case proved just that.

We help prove those hazards existed and that you deserve real help recovering.

Construction Site Injuries in Georgica and Northwest Woods

You show up to work. You expect a hard day, but a safe one. When it’s not? When a scaffold gives way, or nobody thought to secure a power tool or install proper safety railings? That’s not an accident. That’s negligence.

Georgica and Northwest Woods are full of private builds and renovations. We’ve worked with roofers, electricians, painters - you name it. Labor Law Section 240, also known as the Scaffold Law, gives injured workers the right to hold property owners and contractors accountable for unsafe conditions.

You may be able to recover:

• Lost income if you can’t work
• Hospital bills, surgeries, and rehab
• Additional compensation for pain or permanent injury

We work fast. Getting site photos, safety reports, and witness accounts before anything “disappears.”

Bike and Pedestrian Crashes on Springs-Fireplace Road and Main Street

East Hampton isn’t built for foot traffic or cycling. Springs-Fireplace Road and parts of Main Street? No shoulder. No bike lane. Just you, your path, and a whole lot of risk from distracted drivers.

And when someone doesn’t stop, look, or yield? You’re the one who pays the price.

Suffolk County recorded over 400 pedestrian-related crashes in just one year. Some lead to broken bones. Others, worse.

New York’s law allows seriously injured pedestrians or cyclists to bring a legal claim for damages beyond basic no-fault benefits. That includes pain and suffering, lost wages, and future care.

We’ll help you prove the driver was at fault and make sure you don’t get blamed for walking where you were totally allowed to be.

Dog Bites Near Pantigo Road and Ocean Avenue

It doesn’t matter if it’s a small dog or a big one. A bite is a bite. And it hurts. Some leave deep scars. Others leave you nervous walking down your own block.

Dog attacks in East Hampton happen more than you think, especially near residential areas like Ocean Avenue and Pantigo Road. Maybe the dog wasn’t leashed. Maybe the gate was open. Maybe the owner just didn’t care.

Either way, Agriculture & Markets Law Section 123 says the owner has to cover your medical bills. And if the dog had a history of aggression or the bite was particularly severe, you might be entitled to additional compensation.

We’ll track down the records, talk to witnesses, and make sure your story is heard.

Medical Malpractice Near Pantigo Road

You went to get better, not worse. But if your doctor missed something big, gave the wrong medication, or made a mistake during surgery, the results can change your life.

We’ve worked with patients treated near Pantigo Road who suffered harm because of:

• Missed or delayed diagnoses
• Surgery errors or post-op complications
• Wrong prescriptions or doses
• Infections due to poor sanitation

Civil Practice Law & Rules Section 214-a gives you 2.5 years to file a claim in most cases, but that timeline can shrink if the provider was part of a government-run facility.

These cases need more than a gut feeling. We work with independent doctors to review your care and build a case backed by science, not speculation.
