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 personal injury scenarios we handle:

• Car Accidents – New York is a busy place, and its streets are normally packed. From fender benders on neighborhood roads to multi-vehicle pileups on the interstate, you can count on us to hold the responsible party accountable. 
• Truck Accidents – Accidents involving large, heavy trucks can lead to catastrophic accidents. Because their oversized proportions increase their risk of serious accidents, truck drivers must obey strict safety regulations.
• 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 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 – Like motorcyclists, bicyclists are also extremely vulnerable in accidents due to their lack of protection. 
• Pedestrian Accidents – In a city like New York, you get used to walking. However, the busy streets of our great city are also prone to pedestrian accidents. 
• 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 – Slip and fall accidents happen due to wet floors, uneven sidewalks, defective stairwells, elevators, and escalators, and in other instances where property owners are negligent in keeping their premises reasonably safe. 
• 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 –  You may have a case against a doctor or their employer if their services fall below accepted medical standards. Medical malpractice includes misdiagnoses, improper treatment, prescription errors, surgical errors, and more. 
• 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.
