SANDY CLAIMS

There has been a lot of activity lately in the Superstorm Sandy litigations.

Generally, parties are getting closer towards finalizing settlements in both the residential and commercial matters.  

I spent the morning in the Town of Hempstead building department helping a client work through issues.  Although the process may be difficult for many, the local town staff in the affected municipalities have been, from what I have seen, extremely helpful.  

Many individuals and businesses have recovered, but too many are still unfortunately being negatively affected.  I heard someone refer to it as "trapped in the second day of the storm."
