Crashes on Auburndale’s Main Roads

Northern Blvd through Auburndale is a wide, multi-lane road where drivers pull in and out of parking lots and side streets, and pedestrians often have long distances to cross. Francis Lewis Blvd passes under the LIRR tracks near 39th Avenue, where the overpass and its support columns narrow drivers’ room for error. When a crash happens on one of these roads, evidence like storefront video and the police report can make the difference, so it’s important to act quickly.

What to Do After an Accident in Auburndale

1. Get medical care right away, even if you feel fine; some injuries surface days later.
2. Call 911 and get a police report. If the driver fled, report it to police within 24 hours.
3. Photograph the scene, the vehicles and your injuries, and get witness contact information. Note nearby storefronts that may have cameras.
4. If a bus was involved, write down the route, the bus number and the time.
5. File your no-fault (PIP) application with the insurer; New York generally requires this within 30 days.
6. Don’t give a recorded statement to the other side’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer.

Important Deadlines in New York

Most New York personal injury claims must be filed within three years. Claims against New York City or public authorities such as the MTA usually require a Notice of Claim within just 90 days. Storefront and traffic camera footage along Northern Blvd and Francis Lewis Blvd is often recorded over within days, so calling a lawyer early helps preserve evidence.

Auburndale Injury FAQ

Do I need to come to your office?

No. We can handle most of your case by phone, email and video. If you’d like to meet in person, our Bayside office is just a few minutes east.

What areas near Auburndale do you serve?

All of Auburndale (11358), plus Flushing, Bayside, Fresh Meadows, Whitestone and the rest of Queens and New York City.

What if I was partly at fault?

It depends on the type of case. For car and other motor vehicle accidents, New York now follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share. For slip-and-fall and other premises cases, you can still recover even if you share some fault, reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost income and the available insurance. We’ll give you an honest assessment at your free consultation.
