Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer in Astoria, Queens

Astoria is one of NYC’s most diverse neighborhoods — Greek, Italian, Bangladeshi, Egyptian, Latin American, Eastern European — and one of its busiest from a traffic standpoint. The BQE cuts through it. Astoria Boulevard funnels traffic to the RFK/Triborough Bridge. The N and W trains run elevated above 31st Street. Steinway Street carries heavy commercial truck traffic. Pedestrian density is high, intersections are complex, and the accident rate reflects all of it.

Amparo Law Firm represents Astoria residents and workers injured in car accidents, pedestrian strikes, cyclist collisions, and Uber/Lyft incidents.
  • Astoria Boulevard. A major east-west corridor with heavy traffic, BQE access, and pedestrian crossings near the train. The corridor between 21st Street and 31st Street is particularly accident-prone.
  • Steinway Street. Heavy commercial truck traffic plus dense pedestrian activity, especially around the Steinway Street/Broadway intersection.
  • 31st Street under the elevated N/W tracks. The columns supporting the elevated structure create blind corners and limited sight lines.
  • Northern Boulevard at the Astoria-LIC border — high-speed corridor with frequent left-turn collisions.
  • Crescent Street and 21st Street — alternative routes that see speeding and lane-change incidents.
  • The RFK/Triborough Bridge approach — accidents involving out-of-state and out-of-borough drivers unfamiliar with the local geometry.

PIP coverage applies through your auto policy or the at-fault driver’s. 30-day filing deadline. $50,000 minimum medical and 80% lost wages up to $2,000/month. Pain and suffering requires meeting the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d).

Call 911. Photograph everything. Get the police report. Get medical care. File the no-fault PIP application within 30 days. Don’t give a recorded statement. Call us.
