Woman Killed in Long Island Expressway Collision
Calendar icon November 16, 2020

A woman from Selden was killed and a four-year-old boy ended up injured in a Long Island Expressway collision. The accident happened on the morning of November 2 around 8:15 a.m., Suffolk police informed.

Thirty-five-year-old Michelle Carpenter was operating a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix going westbound on the expressway near Exit 53 when she turned to avoid stopped traffic. The driver lost control of the car, which swerved off the highway, hit a tree, and flipped over in the woods.

Carpenter was taken to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore where doctors pronounced her dead. The boy had minor injuries and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip. The police informed that the child was sitting in the back seat.  

The vehicle was taken for a safety check. Detectives are asking anyone with information about the collision to call the Fourth Squad at 631-854-8452.

Suffering a car wreck or losing a loved one in an accident is never easy. Such tragedies are changing people’s lives forever. If you were injured in a car accident, you need to seek legal help from a car accident attorney. They would help you immensely especially with gathering evidence, filing for a compensation claim, and negotiating with the insurance company.

The insurance company will work hard to offer a lower settlement or no settlement at all. Your lawyer won’t accept any offer that is low and unsuitable to cover your medical treatments, lost wages, and other expenses. Your focus should be on your recovery and nothing else.

  • 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.

  • I am writing this letter to say how much I appreciate your services pertaining to my case. Your injury attorney took a hands-on approach and left me fully informed at all times as to where my case was going as well as how much ground we had to cover; leaving the final decisions in my hands but making sure that I knew all of the risks involved in the choices. I have dealt with a few law firms in my life on various different cases and this is the first time that I never had to call and/or track down my lawyer… because of this, I have and will continue to recommend Cellino Law to my friends and associates.

  • Cellino Law is an amazing firm with a great team. I worked with Greg Pajak and his assistant, Tracey Falconer. I cannot express enough how dedicated they are. The personal attention I received was excellent; they were always available to help with questions and concerns and put me at ease in the unknown territory I found myself in. I highly recommend them to anyone needing representation. A huge thank you to them for all they accomplished for me!

  • 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.
