Corona’s streets are some of the most dangerous in the borough. In a September 2026 analysis of the most dangerous major streets in New York City, Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets ranked four streets that run through Corona among the 10 most dangerous in Queens: Northern Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, 108th Street and Junction Boulevard.

Injury Cases We Handle in Corona

• Pedestrian accidents: People struck crossing Roosevelt Avenue, Junction Blvd, 108th Street, National Street and Corona Avenue, and around Corona Plaza and the 7 train stations.

• Bus accidents: Claims involving MTA buses on Junction Blvd, 108th Street and Northern Blvd, which come with much shorter notice deadlines.

• Slip and fall accidents: Injuries in stores, restaurants, apartment buildings and on sidewalks where property owners failed to fix hazards.

Dangerous Roads in Corona

Roosevelt Avenue runs beneath the elevated 7 train, where support columns block sightlines and crowded sidewalks spill into the street. Junction Boulevard and 108th Street carry heavy north-south traffic between Northern Blvd and the Long Island Expressway, with busy bus routes and commercial strips. Northern Boulevard, along Corona’s northern edge, ranked as the second most dangerous street in Queens. Near the expressways and around LeFrak City, high-speed traffic from the service roads meets dense residential blocks.

Hit by a Driver Who Fled or Had No Insurance?

Hit-and-run crashes are a recurring problem in this part of Queens. If the driver is never identified, you may still be able to recover through your own policy’s uninsured motorist coverage or, if you have no auto policy, through the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation (MVAIC). These claims have strict requirements, generally including a police report within 24 hours and written notice within 90 days, so call us as soon as you can.

What to Do After an Accident in Corona

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 Roosevelt Avenue and Junction Blvd is often recorded over within days, so calling a lawyer early helps preserve evidence.

Corona 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 a straight drive east on Northern Blvd.

What areas near Corona do you serve?

All of Corona (11368), plus Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, 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.
