Injury cases in Fresh Meadows

Fresh Meadows is quieter than most of Queens, and its cases reflect that: garden-apartment complexes with interior walkways, stairs and parking areas, a large shopping centre, and the Long Island Expressway and Utopia Parkway running along its edges. Horace Harding Expressway service roads and 188th Street carry the local traffic, and the LIE merges produce the more serious collisions.
  1. 01

    Premises cases here are mostly private:

    apartment complexes and retail, where the owner and the managing agent are separate defendants with separate insurers, and where the case turns on notice — whether the owner created the condition, knew of it, or should have known because it had been there long enough. Surveillance video and porter logs answer that, and both have short lives.

  2. 02

    The hospitals serving this area are private, so ordinary malpractice deadlines apply rather than the 90-day public-entity rule.

    Queens cases are filed in the Supreme Court in Jamaica.

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!

Questions from Fresh Meadows

Not answered here? A lawyer will answer it, free and at any hour.

Ask us directly
I fell on the stairs in my apartment complex.
The owner and the managing agent are the usual defendants. What decides the case is what they knew: prior complaints about the lighting or the tread, the porter's log, and any camera footage. Report it in writing and call before the footage is overwritten.
How long do I have?
Generally three years for a negligence claim against a private owner. If the property is City-owned or NYCHA, it drops to a 90-day Notice of Claim.
Where is your office?
Kew Gardens, about fifteen minutes down the Grand Central or the Van Wyck, opposite the Queens County courthouse.
