Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer in Jackson Heights, Queens

Jackson Heights is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse neighborhoods in NYC — heavily Latinx (Colombian, Ecuadorian, Mexican, Dominican, Argentine, and more), with substantial South Asian (Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepali, Tibetan) and other communities. The neighborhood’s commercial heart along Roosevelt Avenue under the 7 train is one of the densest pedestrian corridors in the borough.

Amparo Law Firm represents Jackson Heights residents injured in motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian strikes, and cyclist collisions. We work in English and Spanish.

Frequently asked questions.

I was hit on Roosevelt Avenue / Northern Boulevard in Jackson Heights. Does location matter?

The law is the same citywide, but local facts guide us — the dense Roosevelt Avenue corridor under the 7 train, heavy bus and delivery traffic, and high pedestrian volume affect which cameras and agencies are involved. We work in English and Spanish.

Yes — New York No-Fault means your PIP coverage pays initial medical bills and lost wages up to $50,000 regardless of fault. Pain-and-suffering claims require the serious-injury threshold.

You may be. Injured cyclists and e-bike riders can recover from an at-fault driver, and depending on the facts may access No-Fault or UM coverage. Tell us how you were riding and for whom.

Your own UM coverage — or in some cases the policy of a vehicle involved — can apply to uninsured and hit-and-run crashes, including for pedestrians and cyclists. These have early deadlines.

Generally three years; 90 days for a notice of claim if a public vehicle was involved.
