The challenge is how to define the “best.” When my daughter wanted to go to a sleep away camp, I asked my friends to recommend the “best” camp.

So, if you’re looking for the best accident lawyer in Forest Hills, it’s important to give some thought to what’s important to you. Do You Like To Be Informed? I’m the [...]
The Importance of Choosing the Right Brain Injury Attorney
When you, or somebody in your family, is injured in a serious accident, the wolves start to circle around looking for their kickback.

So whether you’re looking for a NYC construction accident attorney, a Queens car accident attorney, a Bronx malpractice attorney or a Brooklyn civil rights attorney, [...]

What’s Changed For Car Accidents As NYC Reopens?
New York City finally entered Phase I of reopening this Monday, June 8th. This smart reopening is only happening because we’re continuing to see a downward trend in new cases, hospitalizations and deaths. At the peak of the crisis there were few cars on the road, but traffic is expected to pick up after the re-opening, increasing the likelihood of accidents. People injured in car accidents were sent home during the lockdown for fear of stressing hospitals and spreading the disease. There are still precautions in place, but new options are becoming available for car accident victims. It’s hard to keep up on all these changes, that’s why it’s a good idea to call [...]
What Is Negligence?
You’ve probably heard people say that you can sue for negligence when you’ve been injured, but you might not know exactly what the word means. The definition of negligence is simply “failing to use proper care.” This can mean something very different depending on what the activity is, and whether training or a license is required. Just because you were hurt, doesn’t mean that you will be successful suing the responsible parties. That’s why it’s important to speak to a negligence lawyer in Queens to find out if what happened to you is something that justifies a lawsuit. Elements of a Negligence Claim 1 Duty of Care [...]
Premises Liability – When Can You Sue?
If you’ve been seriously injured on somebody else’s property, you might be wondering if you should sue. You are considering making a premises liability claim, but you don’t want to be a greedy nasty person. On the other hand, you've lost time from work and can’t enjoy the same physical activities as before the accident, so it’s natural to consider whether you’re entitled to compensation. That’s why we’re going to outline how courts determine whether a property owner is legally liable when somebody gets hurt. It’s always a good idea to call us at 718-261-8114 if you’ve had any kind of accident for a specific answer regarding the facts of your particular situation. Premises [...]
Queens is the largest borough in New York City, and it’s not Archie Bunker land anymore. Did you know that there are more languages spoken in Queens than anyplace else on Earth? Half of the borough’s population is now foreign-born, and this diversity flavors Queens with the widest variety of ethnic restaurants in the City.
There are many famous musicians born in Queens, including Louis Armstrong, whose home is now a museum. Dizzie Gillespie, Glen Miller, Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, Milt Hinton, Fats Waller, John Coltrane and Miles Davis all hail from Queens. More recently, rap artists Marley Marl, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Mc Shan, Chuck D, Salt N Pepa, Onyx, 50 Cent, Nick Minaj and many others emerged from Queens. And let’s not forget that Harry Houdini is buried in Queens.
Queens is also home to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge teaming with over 300 species of birds, as well as reptiles, small mammals, amphibians and over 50 species of butterflies. Don’t miss the horseshoe crabs making their way onshore in early Spring. If nature’s not your thing, there’s MOMA’s branch PS1, with groundbreaking exhibits and events. A former dumping ground became Socrates Sculpture Park, a local favorite with large-scale sculptures, performances and outdoor film screenings.
Queens is also famous for being the birthplace of religious freedom in the United States. When Peter Stuyvesant enforced a 1656 law prohibiting “illegal” religious meetings, 30 brave men organized a protest in Flushing to stand up for religious freedom. The protesters were harshly punished, but did succeed in bringing the issue to light, and paving the way towards religious freedom in America.
