We’re proud to share that our Partner, Hon. Gail Prudenti, has written a featured column for Long Island Business News titled “Understanding New York’s Court of Claims.” In the article, Gail explores how New York’s unique Court of Claims allows individuals to bring civil cases directly against the state, a right that was unthinkable under the old English notion of sovereign immunity.
From slip-and-falls on state property to medical malpractice at state hospitals, the court provides a forum where judges, not juries, decide cases. Judge Prudenti also dives into some of the court’s most critical roles, including holding the state accountable for wrongful confinement and ensuring incarcerated individuals are treated fairly.
This is a fascinating read for anyone interested in how New Yorkers can challenge the state, obtain fair compensation, and uphold justice.
