Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Elmhurst, Queens
Car Accidents
Queens Boulevard, known as the “Boulevard of Death,” is infamous for its high rate of car crashes. Add in chaotic intersections at Broadway, Baxter Avenue, and Grand Avenue, and the risk of being in a crash skyrockets. Our car accident lawyers pursue full compensation for medical expenses, property damage, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Truck Accidents
Elmhurst is home to numerous businesses and delivery routes. Commercial vehicles such as box trucks, sanitation trucks, and moving vans frequently cause devastating collisions. HKD’s truck accident attorneys hold negligent drivers, companies, and insurers accountable when their actions result in serious harm.
Construction Accidents
Construction is constant in Elmhurst, from apartment renovations to large-scale developments near Roosevelt Avenue. Unfortunately, corners are often cut. Our construction accident attorneys represent workers and bystanders injured by falling tools, unsafe scaffolding, and OSHA violations.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Poor building maintenance and overcrowded businesses create ideal conditions for slip and fall injuries. We’ve successfully handled Elmhurst premises liability claims involving:
- Wet floors in chain retailers near Queens Place Mall
- Broken steps or loose handrails in multi-family housing
- Cracked or icy sidewalks on residential blocks and side streets
When property owners fail to keep their premises safe, our slip and fall attorneys demand accountability.
Pedestrian Accidents
With heavy pedestrian foot traffic near Elmhurst Avenue, 82nd Street, and Roosevelt Avenue, accidents involving walkers are far too common. Distracted or speeding drivers are often to blame. Our pedestrian accident lawyers fight to recover compensation for pedestrian victims injured by negligence at crosswalks, bus stops, and curbsides.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riding a motorcycle in Elmhurst can be dangerous, especially during rush hour traffic or late-night deliveries. Our motorcycle accident lawyers represent injured riders hit by cars, struck while lane-splitting, or injured by road defects like potholes or debris.
MTA / Subway / Bus Accidents
Elmhurst is served by the E, M, and R trains and several MTA bus routes like the Q53 and Q58. Transit-related injuries may involve:
- Slips or falls at Elmhurst Avenue or Grand Avenue-Newtown subway stations
- Sudden stops or driver negligence on crowded buses
- Malfunctioning elevators, turnstiles, or stairways
When the MTA or other public entities are involved, you may have only 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. Our MTA accident attorneys help you meet critical deadlines and pursue justice.
Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries
High-impact crashes and falls often cause traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or spinal cord damage. These injuries can permanently alter a person’s life. Our team collaborates with neurologists, physical therapists, and life care planners to ensure your future needs are fully accounted for. We’re here for you if you need a skilled brain injury attorney or spinal cord injury lawyer in Elmhurst.
Wrongful Death
When a preventable accident results in a tragic loss, families deserve answers and justice.
