New York Car Accidents
Queens, one of the busiest and most densely populated boroughs of New York City, sees thousands of vehicles navigate its roads every day. With that level of traffic, accidents are unfortunately a regular occurrence—especially on high-traffic corridors like the Long Island Expressway, Queens Boulevard, and local intersections throughout neighborhoods like Jamaica, Ridgewood, and Astoria.
Injury crashes in Queens often leave victims facing long-term consequences—physically, emotionally, and financially. The most common injuries seen in these collisions include:
Neck and Back Trauma: Whiplash is one of the most frequent outcomes of rear-end collisions, even at lower speeds. Victims often require physical therapy and ongoing treatment for lingering pain.
Head Injuries: From concussions to more serious traumatic brain injuries (TBI), head trauma can result in cognitive difficulties, headaches, mood swings, and other long-lasting symptoms.
Bone Fractures: High-impact crashes often lead to broken arms, ribs, hips, or facial bones. Recovery can be painful, costly, and sometimes require surgery.
Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spine can result in nerve issues, herniated discs, or—in severe cases—paralysis. These injuries may lead to lifelong complications and a need for assistive devices or home modifications.
Internal Injuries: Damage to organs or internal bleeding may not be immediately visible after a crash, making it essential to seek medical care even if you feel “okay” in the moment.
Lacerations and Bruising: Shattered glass and airbag deployment often leave victims with cuts and contusions that may leave permanent scarring or require stitches.
