A Laurelton injury case, handled nine minutes away
Laurelton sits between two of the busiest corridors in southeast Queens. Merrick Boulevard carries bus routes, delivery trucks and commuter traffic through the heart of the neighborhood; the Belt Parkway and Cross Island Parkway wrap around its southern edge, with the merge lanes at exits 23 through 25 producing rear-end and sideswipe collisions every week. Add JFK-bound commercial traffic on the conduit and you have a neighborhood where serious crashes are a matter of when, not if.
Our office is at 1 Cross Island Plaza in Rosedale — one neighborhood over. That matters in practical ways: we know the intersections where the city has camera coverage, the precincts that hold the crash reports, and the doctors near Laurelton who document injuries properly. And when you cannot travel, we come to your home or hospital the same week you call.
What a Laurelton claim may cover
Every case is valued on its own facts, but a properly built claim pursues all of it — not just the bills that arrived so far:
- Medical treatment, past and future — surgery, injections, therapy
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity, on or off the books
- Pain, permanent limitation and the ways the injury changed your days
- Property damage and out-of-pocket costs the insurers ignore
“They picked me up from my house on 225th Street for every appointment. I never once felt like a file number.”
Laurelton questions we hear most
I was hit by an MTA bus on Merrick Boulevard. Is that a normal case?
No — claims against the MTA and other public entities require a Notice of Claim within 90 days, far sooner than the usual deadline. The Q4, Q5, Q84 and Q85 all run through Laurelton, so we handle these constantly. Call before the 90 days run.
Do I have to come to your office in Rosedale?
No. We meet Laurelton clients at home, at the hospital, or by video. If you prefer to come in, we are nine minutes away at 1 Cross Island Plaza with free parking.
I fell on an unshoveled sidewalk. Who is responsible?
In New York City the adjoining property owner is generally responsible for keeping the sidewalk safe, with narrow exceptions for small owner-occupied homes. Photograph the spot the same day if you can — conditions change fast.
What does hiring you cost?
Nothing up front and nothing ever unless we recover for you. The consultation is free, and the fee comes out of the settlement — never out of your pocket.
