The roads behind the numbers

Northern Boulevard carries heavy traffic through the heart of Bayside, with left turns across six lanes and frequent bus stops. In 2026, safety advocates ranked it the second most dangerous street in Queens. Bell Boulevard had more injury crashes than any other Bayside street in 2025, as its shopping strip mixes double-parked cars, delivery trucks and people crossing mid-block. Francis Lewis Boulevard and Springfield Boulevard move fast north-south traffic past schools and homes, and the Cross Island Parkway and Clearview Expressway add high-speed merges at their Bayside exits.

If you were hurt at one of these spots, the evidence that decides fault, such as store cameras on Bell Blvd and traffic cameras on Northern Blvd, is often erased within days. Our office is on Northern Blvd, a few blocks from Bell Blvd, so we know these intersections firsthand. Learn more about car accident claims and pedestrian accident claims.

What to Do After an Accident in Bayside

2. Call 911 and get a police report.
3. Photograph the scene, the vehicles and your injuries, and get witness contact information.

Bayside Injury FAQ

Do I need to come to your office?

No. We can handle most of your case by phone, email and video, but if you’re in Bayside, our door is open.

What areas near Bayside do you serve?

All of Bayside (11360, including Bay Terrace and Bayside Hills, 11361, 11364), plus Little Neck, Douglaston, Whitestone, Fresh Meadows, Flushing 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.

Which Bayside intersections have the most crashes?

Based on NYPD crash reports since 2024, Northern Blvd at 223rd Street and at Bell Blvd, and Francis Lewis Blvd at 73rd Avenue and at Union Turnpike, have had the most injury crashes in Bayside’s ZIP codes.

What if a road defect on the Clearview Expressway or Cross Island Parkway caused my crash?

The claim may be against New York State or New York City, depending on who maintains that stretch of road. Both generally require written notice within 90 days, so call us right away so we can identify the right agency.
