Queens Personal Injury Attorney

At Chopra & Nocerino, our attorneys have the skills, resources, and expertise to handle even the most complex personal injury cases. If you were injured due to someone else’s carelessness, we are ready to defend your right to full and fair compensation. These are just a few of the types of personal injury cases we handle in Queens:

• Car Accidents – We understand Queens’ high-traffic zones, including areas near Queens Boulevard and the Grand Central Parkway, and know how to pursue maximum compensation in even the most chaotic collisions.
• Hit and Run Accidents -Our legal team helps clients track down responsible parties or recover through uninsured motorist policies, even when little evidence is available.
• Truck Accidents – We navigate the overlap between city regulations and federal trucking laws—especially relevant on routes like the Long Island Expressway.
• Motorcycle Accidents – Motorcyclists are uniquely vulnerable in auto accidents because, unlike passengers in a vehicle, they have minimal protection from the full force of a crash.
• Bus Accidents – If you are injured in a MTA bus accident, you may have a case against a negligent driver or their employer. If your accident was with a city bus, you must file a notice of claim with the MTA within 90 days of your accident.
• Bicycle Accidents – We represent cyclists struck at intersections or in bike lanes lacking proper barriers or signage.
• Pedestrian Accidents – Common in dense neighborhoods like Jackson Heights or Flushing, we manage crosswalk, signal, and driver visibility disputes.
• Rideshare Accidents: Accidents involving rideshare services like Uber and Lyft can be complex due to multiple parties, including the driver, the rideshare company, and insurance providers. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, our attorneys will ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
• Premises Liability – Property and business owners, management companies, and others who control premises must keep them reasonably safe for visitors. This means inspecting for hazards, warning of their presence, and fixing them in a reasonable time.
• Slip and Falls – Whether it’s a grocery store in Astoria or a sidewalk in Forest Hills, we gather evidence fast before it’s lost or repaired.
• Construction Accidents – Workers’ compensation may cover some construction accident costs, but it may not be enough to help you fully recover your damages. We can help you explore all sources of compensation.
• Other Workplace Accidents – Again, if you were hurt in a workplace accident, you can file a workers’ compensation claim through your employer’s insurance policy. You may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against third parties.
• Medical Malpractice – We handle negligent care cases involving Queens hospitals and providers, using top medical experts.
• Catastrophic Injuries – People injured due to the actions of others sometimes suffer catastrophic injuries such as paralysis, severe burns, amputations, or severe traumatic brain injuries. Because these cases usually involve high monetary stakes, you need a skilled advocate who can push back against defendants eager to see your case dismissed.
• Wrongful Death – No amount of money can make up for the loss of a loved one. However, New York allows you to file a lawsuit when another party negligently, recklessly, or intentionally caused the death of your loved one.
