A speeding biker killed after crashing into a cement pillar on a Queens street was identified as Daniel Hernandez, 25. The crash occurred near 50th Avenue about 9 p.m. on November 1, the police informed. The pillar holds the Brooklyn Queens Expressway overpass and is at the end of Calvary Cemetery. 

Hernandez, who was living in Ridgewood, Queens, was rushing east on Laurel Hill Boulevard in Sunnyside. He was riding a blue 2007 Yamaha. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet, but still ended with traumatic bodily injuries and died at the scene. 

The state of New York is strict about motorcyclists wearing helmets. However, even the helmet is not a warranty for the life of the rider. Motorcyclists aren’t protected so even a small impact can be fatal for them. 

The number of motorcycle accidents is almost as high as that of car accidents. Speeding, negligence, splitting lanes, road bumps, open doors of cars are only a few of the many factors that contribute to these types of collisions. Drivers of vehicles are often unable to spot motorcyclists due to their size. When drivers make a left turn, they usually look for other large vehicles and fail to notice an approaching motorcycle.

If you’re a motorcyclist and end up in an accident because of someone else’s negligence, you can seek a claim for your injuries and damages. To do this, consult with a New York motorcycle accident attorney. They would review your case and help you collect evidence, file the claim, and negotiate with the insurance company (in case they offer a low settlement). 

If you need legal help for such matters, allow our team at Cellino Law to review your case and help you file the claim. Our mission is to help you collect your settlement.

  • 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.

  • I highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone involved in a car crash. I worked with Michael Lovecchio, and had a wonderful experience given the circumstances. He was very attentive, and got the best possible outcome I could have wanted.

  • 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
