What Is a 50-H Hearing?
A 50-H hearing (named for Section 50-H of New York’s General Municipal Law) is a sworn examination that a claimant generally must complete before filing a lawsuit against a New York municipality — commonly used in personal injury claims involving city property, sidewalks, or municipal vehicles.
Why an Interpreter Matters
Because 50-H testimony can affect whether and how a claim proceeds, accuracy is essential. Our interpreters render questions and answers completely and neutrally, so the record reflects exactly what was asked and said.
Coverage Area
In person: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Long Island. Remote by phone or video (VRI): available nationwide.
