Injury cases in Elmhurst

Elmhurst sits where Queens Boulevard, Broadway, Roosevelt Avenue and Grand Avenue converge, with the elevated 7 above Roosevelt and the Queens Center commercial district at the centre. Traffic on these corridors is slow, dense and constantly turning, which produces a high volume of collisions and pedestrian strikes at moderate speeds — the kind that still cause fractures and disc injuries.
  1. 01

    The single most important local fact for an injury case here is Elmhurst Hospital Center.

    It is part of the NYC Health + Hospitals system, which makes it a public facility — and that means a malpractice claim against it normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days and suit within one year and 90 days, rather than the two years and six months that applies to a private hospital. Patients are almost never told this, and by the time they think about a claim, the shorter clock has often run.

  2. 02

    Elmhurst is also one of the most linguistically diverse neighbourhoods in the country, and many residents are workers in construction, food service and delivery — the sectors that generate the most third-party workplace claims.

If there was more than 5 stars Seth Fields and his associates would get them all. Mr. FIelds went to trial with a jury in Suffolk Cty Riverhead Supreme Ct & won w/ a verdict in minutes for 100% Liability. The defense worked with Mr. FIelds in a settlement before the damages trial began. I would stop here searching any further & contact Seth Fields if you want a Smart, Attainable for your questions, concerns, Empathetic to your needs but a Bull Dog with your case, then you found your attorney.I can’t thank you enough for all your long hours, weekends, holidays that you put into 7 yrs of all my medical, motions, hearings & trial etc. WE WON! You did it and obtained a large settlement that I couldn’t be more happy after this long tough journey. I would refer everyone to you that has a case that needs fighting for. 🙏

The most amazing, professional and knowledgeable with great communicators with injury law, and I highly recommend that there is no reason for second and third opinions on procuring a law firm with their experience and know how. They are second to none. My time was precious, and they respected every minute of it. Thank you!

Ask us directly
I was treated at Elmhurst Hospital and something went wrong.
Call immediately. Elmhurst Hospital Center is a public facility, so a claim normally requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days rather than the two and a half years that applies to private hospitals.
I was hit by a delivery van.
A commercial vehicle brings a commercial policy and usually a company defendant as well as the driver, which often means substantially more coverage than a private car.
What if I do not speak English well?
We handle cases in English and Spanish directly and arrange qualified interpreters in other languages. Nothing in your case should depend on a relative translating.
