Aggressive Representation for Woodside Injury Victims

Woodside is a unique mix of residential blocks, bustling retail corridors, and major transportation arteries like Queens Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue. The neighborhood’s cultural diversity and central location make it a vibrant place to live and work, but also one where serious accidents can happen.

At HKD, our Queens injury lawyers bring deep knowledge of local streets, courts, and legal procedures to every personal injury case we handle. We’ve recovered millions for victims of preventable accidents throughout Woodside and New York City. Our team takes on insurance companies, negligent property owners, and large corporations to make sure our clients get the compensation they deserve.

Whether you were injured at the 61st Street–Woodside subway station, struck by a car near Doughboy Plaza, or fell on a poorly maintained sidewalk, we’ll build a powerful case grounded in the facts and your future.

Local Insight in Woodside Injury Claims

Woodside’s compact layout, proximity to major highways, and aging infrastructure all increase the risk of injuries in public spaces, homes, and workplaces.

HKD attorneys routinely handle cases involving:

  • Traffic bottlenecks on Roosevelt Avenue and Northern Boulevard that lead to car, bike, and pedestrian collisions
  • Outdated walk-ups and multi-family buildings with broken stairs, loose handrails, or poor lighting
  • Busy subway platforms at Woodside’s transit hub where slip-and-fall accidents occur
  • Construction zones and sidewalk sheds near new developments on Queens Boulevard

The Injury Cases We Handle in Woodside 

Car Accidents

Woodside’s stretch of Queens Boulevard is known as the “Boulevard of Death” for good reason. Speeding, reckless turns, and heavy traffic create the perfect storm for serious car crashes. Our car accident lawyers represent victims of rear-end collisions, Uber and Lyft accidents, and drivers or passengers injured by negligent motorists throughout the neighborhood.

Truck Accidents

Delivery trucks and utility vehicles are a common sight in Woodside, especially along Roosevelt Avenue and 69th Street. When these larger vehicles are involved in crashes, the consequences can be catastrophic. Our truck accident lawyers investigate company liability, driver records, and maintenance logs to hold all responsible parties accountable. 

Construction Accidents

Ongoing construction projects in Woodside, from apartment renovations to commercial buildouts, bring serious hazards. Whether you’re a worker injured by falling debris or a pedestrian hurt by an unsecured worksite, our dedicated construction accident attorneys fight for compensation under New York’s labor laws and premises liability standards.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Unfortunately, neglected sidewalks, icy stoops, and broken stairwells are typical in parts of Woodside. We’ve represented clients who fell due to:

  • Cracked pavement on Woodside Avenue or 58th Street
  • Slippery grocery store aisles near Roosevelt Avenue
  • Inadequate lighting in older apartment buildings on 43rd Avenue

If property owners or landlords fail to keep their premises safe, our slip and fall accident attorneys will make sure they’re held legally and financially responsible.

Pedestrian Accidents

With a high volume of foot traffic, especially near the LIRR and 7 train station at 61st Street, pedestrian accidents are a real danger in Woodside. Distracted driving, aggressive left turns, and speeding through crosswalks all contribute to life-altering injuries. Our pedestrian accident attorneys represent injured pedestrians with compassion and a tough courtroom approach when needed.

Motorcycle Accidents

Navigating Woodside’s dense traffic on a motorcycle comes with significant risks. Riders are frequently exposed to sudden and avoidable dangers from dooring incidents to uneven pavement. If you were hurt in a motorcycle crash, our knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorneys will investigate thoroughly and push back against blame-shifting tactics from insurers.

Subway and Bus Accidents

Woodside’s commuters rely heavily on MTA transit, including the 7 train, Q32, Q70-SBS, and other bus lines. Unfortunately, slips, sudden stops, and equipment failures can cause severe injuries. HKD’s MTA accident attorneys have successfully handled claims involving:

  • Subway platform falls at Woodside–61st Street
  • Bus passengers injured by abrupt stops or driver negligence
  • Defective MTA stairways and elevators

Claims involving public agencies must be filed quickly, often within 90 days. Let us guide you through the process.

Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries

Severe trauma from traffic crashes or falls can result in devastating outcomes like traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord damage. If you need a brain injury attorney or spinal cord injury lawyer in Queens, HKD brings the medical and legal expertise to demand full compensation for rehab, in-home care, and lost earning capacity.

Wrongful Death

If you’ve lost a loved one due to another’s negligence, whether in a fatal car crash, construction accident, or fall from a hazardous structure, our wrongful death attorneys can help you seek justice. We handle these sensitive cases with respect and a determination to recover compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and more.

What to Know About Filing a Claim in Woodside

How much time do I have to file my claim?

In most personal injury cases in New York, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, if your injury involves a government entity, such as the MTA, NYCHA, or DOT, you may need to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

Missing a deadline can bar you from seeking compensation entirely. The sooner you speak with a lawyer, the more options you’ll have.

Where will my case be filed in Queens?

Injury claims arising from accidents in Woodside are typically handled in Queens County Supreme Court, located at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica. Our attorneys are well-versed in its procedures and familiar with the local judiciary. We tailor our legal strategies based on what works best in this courtroom. 

What compensation could I recover from my case?

Your settlement or verdict may include compensation for:

  • Emergency care and long-term medical expenses
  • Lost wages and future earning potential
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Funeral expenses and loss of support in fatal injury cases

Each case is unique. Our team works with economists, medical professionals, and experts to calculate the full scope of your losses.

What if I share the blame for the accident?

Even if you’re partially responsible, you may still recover damages. Under New York’s comparative negligence rule, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of fault. For example, if you’re 20% at fault, your award would be reduced by 20%. HKD works hard to minimize any claim of shared liability.

Why choose HKD to represent you?

Insurance companies want to pay you as little as possible. At HKD, we level the playing field by:

  • Investigating your accident
  • Securing witness statements and expert opinions
  • Handling all insurance negotiations
  • Preparing to take your case to trial if needed

You focus on healing; we’ll take care of the rest.
