New York Car Accidents
Queens is a borough known for its energy, diversity, and constant movement, but its busy streets also pose significant dangers for drivers and pedestrians alike. From the hectic stretches of Queens Boulevard to the congested corridors of Jamaica Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, car accidents are a daily occurrence in neighborhoods throughout the borough.
Injury crashes in Queens often stem from preventable behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, failing to yield, or making sudden, unsafe lane changes. The risks are only heightened by the borough’s unique challenges—narrow roads, frequent construction, high foot traffic, and a growing number of delivery vans and rideshare vehicles that stop and turn unpredictably.
When a crash happens, the consequences can be life-altering. Victims may suffer a wide range of injuries, from soft tissue damage and fractures to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord trauma. Many face lengthy recovery times, ongoing pain, mounting medical expenses, and lost income—all while struggling to deal with insurance companies and legal complexities.
