Fatal Accident in Queens as Driver Loses Control of Vehicle

Fatal Accident in Queens as Driver Loses Control of Vehicle
Calendar icon December 4, 2020

A speeding driver crashed on the Belt Parkway after losing control of their vehicle. The fatal accident in Queens resulted in the death of the vehicle’s passenger, who had sustained severe injuries.

The twenty-year-old driver crashed into overpass support on the eastbound Belt Parkway near 150th St. The accident took place on the edge of Baisley Pond Park and across from Kennedy Airport at about 11 p.m. on November 29, according to the police. The vehicle flipped over in the crash.

Medics transported the driver and his passenger, a man in his twenties, to Jamaica Hospital, where the passenger died. Police are still establishing the passenger’s identity. The driver is in critical condition. 

Speeding is one of the top reasons for auto accidents in New York. Losing control over the vehicle often leads to the inability to stop on time.  Often speeding leads to rear-end crashes, or colliding with an object. 

If you suffered a car accident, you’ll likely need legal help from a New York car accident attorney. You’ll need to file a compensation claim, but also you’ll need help with the negotiation process. The claim should be high enough to cover your medical fees, lost wages, and other damages you suffered. 

Naturally, you’re stressed and scared after an accident. You have no idea what to do next, how you’ll cover your expenses and how long will it take for your injuries to heal.

Testimonials

  • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
