A pedestrian got severe injuries in a Queens vehicle crash that happened on Friday afternoon, March 12, the police said.

The accident happened around 2:15 p.m. at Queens Boulevard and 84th Drive in Briarwood.

The Queens vehicle crash was followed by a loud noise, said a witness. The pedestrian was lying on the ground with a bloody head. The emergency team arrived at the location and took the victim to Jamaica Hospital; the doctors confirmed that the pedestrian was in a critical condition.

The gray Hyundai Elantra that hit the pedestrian had a partially shattered windshield. So far there is no information that the driver was charged.

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable participants in traffic. Not that they aren’t responsible for accidents, but when such a collision happens, these people end with severe injuries that often end fatally.

If you were involved in such an accident, after the initial medical help, make sure to seek an attorney who has a history with such cases. You should be able to file a compensation claim. The insurance company of the liable driver may argue that you weren’t careful, or that you wore dark clothes, and crossed the street in an unmarked place, but it’s important not to give up. The insurers may offer a low settlement. Many people usually accept the first settlement, not knowing that they don’t have to.

Your attorney will advise you to allow them to negotiate for the right offer. Sometimes the insurance company doesn’t offer any good settlement, so the whole case might end in court.

No matter what happened, having an attorney by your side will give you more strength. Your only concern should be recovering instead of worrying about the money.

    Maria

  • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.

  • Joe and I just wanted to send you this note thanking you for the professional way you handled our lawsuit. Your kindness was extremely appreciated in a very difficult time. When we found out the people that caused the accident had no insurance, we thought our chances of receiving any settlement was nonexistent. Once we met with you and released you were able to help us our minds were put at ease. Your aggressive manner of handling the case exceeded our expectations. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you so much and best wishes,

    Danielle and Joe
