Injury cases in Woodhaven

Woodhaven Boulevard is one of the widest and most dangerous streets in Queens: multiple through lanes plus service roads on each side, long distances between signals, and pedestrians crossing eight lanes of traffic in stages. It has been a repeated target of City street-redesign work for that reason, and it produces a steady share of the neighbourhood's serious pedestrian and turning-collision cases.
  1. 01

    Jamaica Avenue is the counterpart —

    a commercial strip under the elevated J train, where columns obstruct sight lines, buses stop constantly and delivery vehicles double-park. Between them sits a dense neighbourhood of attached houses whose sidewalk responsibility depends on the § 7-210 exception for small owner-occupied homes: for many of these houses, a defect is the City's responsibility, and a claim carries a 90-day Notice of Claim.

  2. 02

    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 Woodhaven

Ask us directly
I was struck crossing Woodhaven Boulevard.
No-fault follows the vehicle, so the driver's insurer generally covers your initial treatment and part of your lost wages, on a 30-day application deadline. Where signal timing or crossing design contributed, the City may also be a defendant, and that adds a 90-day notice requirement.
The vehicle was a city bus.
Then a Notice of Claim within 90 days applies and a § 50-h hearing is likely before any lawsuit. Note the bus number and route if you can.
Where do I have to go for the case?
The civil term of the Queens County Supreme Court, at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, a short drive from our Kew Gardens office. We handle routine appearances ourselves.
