Read Article2330 articles on personal injury, no-fault insurance defense, and employment law in New York — by attorney Jason Tenenbaum since 2008.
Since 2008, the Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C. has published in-depth legal analysis and commentary on New York personal injury law, no-fault insurance defense, and employment discrimination. With over 2,330 articles authored by attorney Jason Tenenbaum, this blog has become one of the most comprehensive legal resources available to injury victims, employees, and insurance professionals on Long Island and throughout New York State. Our legal commentary spans every level of the New York court system, from Supreme Court trial decisions in Nassau and Suffolk Counties to appellate rulings from the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Departments, and the New York Court of Appeals.
Our articles cover a wide spectrum of legal topics — from breaking down recent appellate court decisions that reshape no-fault insurance procedure, to explaining the steps involved in filing a personal injury claim after a car accident in Nassau or Suffolk County. We regularly analyze developments in employment law, including wrongful termination protections, pregnancy discrimination under federal and state statutes, and wage and hour violations that affect workers across Long Island. Each article is written to be accessible to non-lawyers while maintaining the legal precision that attorneys and insurance professionals expect. Many of our posts include detailed citations to New York case law so that readers — whether they are injured individuals, practicing attorneys, or insurance adjusters — can verify our analysis and apply it to their own situations.
This blog also serves as a window into how the law evolves over time. Many of our earliest articles from 2008 and 2009 documented foundational no-fault insurance decisions that continue to be cited in New York courts today. By maintaining this archive, we provide readers with the historical context necessary to understand current legal standards — including how the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law § 5102(d) has been interpreted across thousands of cases, or how the rules governing independent medical examinations and examinations under oath have shifted through successive appellate rulings. Whether you are researching a specific legal issue, preparing for a case, or simply trying to understand your rights after an accident or workplace incident, our blog is designed to give you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions.
Attorney Jason Tenenbaum writes from a perspective that few legal bloggers can match. With more than 1,000 appellate briefs filed and over 100,000 no-fault insurance cases handled, his articles reflect practical courtroom and arbitration experience rather than abstract legal theory. His writing covers the full lifecycle of personal injury and employment claims — from initial accident documentation and medical treatment, through discovery and depositions, to trial or settlement. For readers who want personalized advice about a specific situation, we encourage you to contact our office for a free consultation.
Our legal blog addresses the areas of law that matter most to Long Island residents. Below are the major topics you will find throughout our 2,330+ article archive.
New York personal injury law allows accident victims to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by someone else's negligence. Our blog covers car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall injuries, premises liability, construction site accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, dog bites, and wrongful death claims. We explain concepts like comparative negligence under CPLR § 1411, the serious injury threshold, notice of claim requirements for municipal defendants, and statutes of limitations that apply in Nassau County, Suffolk County, and New York City courts.
Browse personal injury articlesNew York's no-fault insurance system under Insurance Law Article 51 requires motor vehicle insurers to pay first-party benefits for medical treatment, lost earnings, and other basic economic losses regardless of who caused the accident. Our blog is one of the most detailed resources available on no-fault procedure, covering fee schedule disputes, peer review denials, independent medical examination (IME) issues, examinations under oath (EUO), timely denial requirements, verification requests, arbitration outcomes, and the interplay between no-fault benefits and personal injury litigation. Attorney Tenenbaum has handled over 100,000 no-fault cases and provides analysis that reflects actual practice before New York arbitrators and courts.
Browse no-fault articlesEmployees in New York are protected by overlapping federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws — including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, and the New York City Human Rights Law. Our blog explains the legal standards for claims involving race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, religion, and national origin discrimination, as well as sexual harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law. We regularly analyze decisions from the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the New York State Division of Human Rights.
Browse employment law articlesA significant portion of our blog is devoted to New York civil procedure and detailed case-by-case analysis of court decisions. We cover summary judgment standards, discovery disputes, expert witness requirements, evidence rules, appellate practice, and procedural pitfalls that can determine the outcome of a case before it ever reaches a jury. Topics include the CPLR provisions governing motions, pleadings, and statutes of limitations, the role of affidavits and medical evidence in personal injury litigation, and the procedural requirements that govern no-fault arbitration and master arbitration. These articles serve as a practical resource for attorneys preparing motions, insurance professionals evaluating claims, and individuals who want to understand how New York's courts actually function.
