Injury cases in Howard Beach

Howard Beach is defined by three roads: Cross Bay Boulevard running north–south through the middle of it, the Belt Parkway across its northern edge, and the airport access roads that carry constant taxi, rideshare and cargo traffic to and from JFK. That last one is what makes the local case mix distinctive — a large share of collisions here involve for-hire vehicles, airport shuttles, cargo vans and tractor-trailers rather than private cars.
01

That changes the claim.

A for-hire or commercial vehicle brings a commercial policy, a company defendant and, in the case of rideshare, coverage that reaches $1,250,000 in New York depending on which phase the trip was in. Establishing that phase requires the company's trip data, which has to be demanded early.

02

JFK itself generates a steady volume of workplace injuries —

ground handling, cargo, fuelling and catering — and those almost always involve a third-party contractor as well as the injured worker's own employer, which is exactly the situation where a comp claim and a separate lawsuit for pain and suffering run together.

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 hit by a taxi or an Uber near the airport.
The available coverage depends on the vehicle type and, for rideshare, on the trip phase — up to $1.25 million when the app is in an active trip. The company's trip data proves the phase and needs to be requested quickly.
I was hurt working at JFK.
You likely have a workers' compensation claim and, if another company on the field contributed, a separate third-party lawsuit. Comp pays nothing for pain and suffering; the third-party case does.
How far is your office?
About fifteen minutes — 80-02 Kew Gardens Road, across from the Queens County courthouse.
