We Take on the Toughest Personal Injury Cases in Queens

Queens is one of the most diverse and densely populated boroughs in New York City—which also makes it one of the most dangerous when it comes to accidents and serious injuries. From industrial job sites to busy roads and sidewalks, there are countless ways people get hurt. However, most of these injuries might have been prevented if others had done their jobs responsibly.

We regularly represent clients in personal injury cases involving:

Construction accidents in Queens

Queens is constantly under construction—from high-rises in Long Island City to housing renovations in Jamaica. But construction work is risky, especially when safety protocols are ignored. Falls from scaffolds, injuries caused by falling materials, electrical burns, and unsafe equipment are all too common. We fight to hold contractors, site owners, and third parties accountable under New York Labor Law, helping injured workers pursue the maximum compensation available.

Car accidents in Queens

With heavily trafficked roads like Queens Boulevard and the Long Island Expressway, car accidents happen far too often in Queens. In one recent year, Queens reported 18,425 motor vehicle collisions, resulting in 31 fatalities and 8,517 non-fatal injuries. From distracted drivers to speeding and reckless lane changes, these collisions can cause serious harm. We represent individuals injured in everything from rear-end crashes to multi-vehicle pileups, fighting for full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery costs.

Queens motorcycle accidents

Motorcyclists in Queens face unique dangers. Drivers often fail to notice motorcycles, especially at intersections or during lane changes. When a rider is hit, the injuries are often severe—fractures, road rash, and traumatic brain injuries are common. We understand how devastating these cases can be and fight aggressively to ensure riders get the compensation they need to recover and move forward.

Truck and commercial vehicle accidents

Crashes involving box trucks, delivery vans, and semis often result in catastrophic injuries. These cases are different from standard car accidents—they require digging into maintenance records, driver logs, and corporate policies. We hold businesses accountable when unsafe practices put the public at risk.

Pedestrian accidents

Queens is one of the busiest boroughs for foot traffic, especially around public transit stations, schools, and commercial areas. In 2022, 14 pedestrians were killed, and 1,675 were injured in traffic incidents across Queens. And the risk is rising: pedestrian injuries increased by 4.3% in Queens North and 8.6% in Queens South precincts in 2023. Drivers who fail to yield, speed through intersections, or look at their phones instead of the road are endangering lives every day.

Bicycle accidents in Queens

Cycling in Queens has become more popular—and more dangerous. In 2020, there were 995 bicycle accidents reported in the borough, resulting in 987 injuries and one fatality. The danger is rising: cycling injuries in Queens South precincts increased by 35.4% in 2023 alone. When careless drivers endanger cyclists, we step in to hold them accountable.

Slip and fall injuries

From icy sidewalks in Jackson Heights to broken steps in apartment buildings, unsafe property conditions can lead to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, and other severe injuries. Property owners are legally responsible for keeping their premises safe, and we will hold them accountable when they don’t.

Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Legal Action

Serious injuries can happen in a single moment, yet their effects can change the course of your life. At The Perecman Firm, our Queens personal injury lawyers take the time to understand how your injury has disrupted your ability to work, care for your family, or live independently. Then, we build a case that reflects the full scope of what’s been taken from you.

We often represent clients suffering from:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Back and neck trauma, including herniated discs
• Accidental amputations
• Fractures and crush injuries
• Burns and permanent scarring
• Nerve damage and chronic pain conditions
• Internal injuries and organ damage

We work closely with medical experts to document the full extent of your condition, including future surgeries, therapy, and loss of earning ability. Whether you're recovering from a catastrophic injury or helping a loved one adjust to life with permanent disability, we’ll fight to ensure the compensation reflects your reality—not just the numbers an insurance company is willing to offer.

What Makes A Strong Personal Injury Claim?

Not every accident leads to a valid legal claim, but when someone else’s carelessness caused your injury, you may have the right to seek compensation. 

At The Perecman Firm, we know what it takes to build a case that holds up. Our Queens personal injury attorneys go beyond surface-level facts to uncover what really happened, who is legally responsible, and how your life has been affected.

To pursue a successful personal injury claim, we need to prove:

• Someone had a legal duty to act with care
• They breached that duty with their action or inaction
• Their conduct directly caused your injury
• You suffered real harm as a result—physical, emotional, and financial

We dig deep—gathering medical records, speaking with witnesses, obtaining surveillance footage, and consulting with outside experts to show how the injury occurred and what it’s cost you. The goal is to make it clear, from start to finish, that you deserve full and fair compensation.

You Deserve Maximum Compensation

Money can’t undo all your pain and suffering, but it can provide stability, access to care, and peace of mind about the future. That’s why we fight for more than just quick payouts. We pursue every dollar you’re entitled to, holding the responsible parties and their insurance companies accountable for what you've lost.

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic damages

These are the tangible, out-of-pocket costs:

• Medical expenses, including hospital stays, surgeries, and rehab
• Ongoing treatment or therapy
• Prescription costs and medical equipment
• Lost wages or income 
• Reduced earning capacity
• Transportation and in-home care related to your recovery

Non-economic damages

These reflect the physical and emotional toll of your injury:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and trauma
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Impact on your relationships or family life

Wrongful death damages

You can never put a price on the loss of a loved one, but the right compensation can give you the time, energy, and resources to help you grieve, heal, and rebuild, If a loved one died because of someone else’s negligence, your family may be eligible to seek the following:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of the deceased person’s income or support
• Emotional pain and loss of companionship

If we believe your injuries were the result of egregious

In some cases, we will seek punitive damages when the responsible party’s conduct was especially reckless or intentional.

At The Perecman Firm, we don’t settle for what’s easy. We push for what’s right. Our track record includes multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements that reflect the real value of our clients’ losses. We’ll do the same for you.

We Deal With the Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To

After an injury, it doesn’t take long before the calls start. An insurance adjuster might reach out, offering to cover your medical bills and maybe a little more to sweeten the deal. But don’t be fooled. They aim to pay you as little as possible and close your case for good. 

At The Perecman Firm, we’ve seen every tactic insurers use to delay, deny, or downplay legitimate claims. We don’t let them get away with it. When you work with our experienced Queens personal injury lawyers, we take over all communication with the at-fault party’s insurance company from day one. That means:

• You won’t accept a lowball offer that fails to pay you the full damages you deserve.
• You won’t be pressured into saying something that they can use to diminish or deny your claim.
• You won’t be misled about what your claim is worth.
• You won’t struggle to obtain the medical care you need.

Instead, we build your case with the evidence and documentation necessary to demand a fair settlement, and we prepare to go to court if the insurer won’t pay what you deserve.

Our reputation matters here. Insurance carriers know that when The Perecman Firm is involved, they’re dealing with a law firm that’s ready to file a personal injury lawsuit for you and take your case to court. That makes them think twice before trying to shortchange our clients.
