If there is one thing we must constantly do, it is to take care of ourselves. New York is a large city, and Queens is a busy area with diverse communities. They have settled here and engaged in constant commercial activity.
We're talking about a busy city with many cars and people rushing around. Sometimes, there are so many distractions that people don't fully pay attention to what's happening.
We will talk about the various personal injury cases we handle. We will also discuss the compensation for accidents. Additionally, we will explain how to contact our team of skilled personal injury lawyers in Queens.
Allow us to be your champions, confidants, and collaborators in your quest for justice. We can overcome difficulties and work toward a brighter future if we work together.
Before we assess injuries from accidents, it's important to stress that prevention is crucial. We don't want our people to be disconnected, distracted, or unaware of their surroundings in the city.
Please consider this: "Look at the birds in the air. They don’t plant or harvest, or store food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. And you know that you are worth much more than the birds. You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it." (Matthew 6:26-27).
Do you see? The almighty is always taking care of you. If you neglect yourself and don't take responsibility for your actions, you may endanger yourself and harm others. It is crucial to be mindful of how your actions can impact others. Taking care of yourself is essential for your well-being and the well-being of others.
Take care of your environment and every step you take in the city, and carefully evaluate the consequences of your actions and words. This is the only way to reduce the risk of getting involved in tragic situations.
At The Ward Law Group, we have reviewed numerous cases. From our observed data, we have noticed that most individuals who act carelessly often overlook these fundamental principles. Perhaps it is stress, distraction, or living deluded by their ego all the time. Careless people sometimes lose touch with themselves and don't realize how their actions impact others.
Take care of yourself, and the creator will have an easier job.
Basic History of Queens and Hispanic Immigration to the Area
The United States is a country that was born by immigrants. Queens, New York, is no exception to this principle. From the great waves of Italian immigrants that came to the Atlantic coast to the new times of immigration from Latin America to this part of the continent, the borough of Queens has been characterized by a vibrant worldwide community.
Our Latin American brothers and sisters have been arriving in this city driven by dreams and escaping from injustices, tyrannical governments, and opportunities that did not come to them in their native lands. Over the years, the realization of these dreams has been coming. Many immigrants became merchants, found better jobs, and sent their children to college.
This is the case of Jorge, a Mexican client who proudly told us that after many years of work and after going through thousands of painful experiences when immigrating, he managed to send his son to New York University.
And just like Jorge's story, we have the story of thousands of immigrants who have made this nation the country of opportunities and the land of freedom. Those who deny this great truth usually live blinded in positions that hide a xenophobic desire.
We advocate for the integration of our community, and that language should never impede access to justice. We understand how difficult it is to be separated from the family and start from scratch very far from home. Serving clients in Queens reminds us of the dreams and struggles of many immigrants who never gave up.
Queens experienced extensive development throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Immigration from various parts of the world led to transformative changes. In the area, new communities emerged and grew. The rich mosaic of Queens comprises contributions from multiple communities, with the Hispanic community being a key player.
Hispanic immigration to Queens started in the 1800s, with many Puerto Ricans moving to the whole area.
In recent times, Queens has become a hub for immigrants from countries such as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Ecuador, and other Central and South American nations. As the Hispanic population grew, so did its influence on the borough's culture, cuisine, and community life.

Queens Accident's Statistics
In the last census of New Yorkers and their cars, Queens data shows that 62% of Queens residents own a car. Even though just a small number of people (27%) use their vehicles daily to go to work. Still, there are many drivers on Queen's streets where it only takes one second of missed concentration to provoke an accident.
Pedestrian/motor vehicle - 1980 Accidents
- 1936 Injuries
- 23 Deaths
Bicycle and Motorcycle - 1600 Accidents

Workplace accidents are another well-known danger that generates thousands of injuries yearly. Private industry employers reported 138,900 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in New York in 2022.
We can also mention slip and fall accidents, which accounted for 70 deaths in New York in 2021. People need to know their rights and that there are laws to protect them. We support and fight for their rights, no matter what happens.
Types of Compensation Available for Accident Claims in Queens
We have a deep understanding of the complexities of accident claims and are committed to fighting for the maximum compensation on behalf of our clients. Let us share with you some examples of possible compensation:
- Medical expenses: Medical bills can pile up quickly after an accident, causing financial stress. Compensation can cover current and future medical treatments, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and necessary medical equipment or supplies.
- Lost wages: Injuries can prevent you from working, resulting in a loss of income. Compensation can help replace wages you've lost due to time away from work and future earning potential if the injuries have a long-term impact on your ability to work.
- Pain and suffering: Physical injuries often come with emotional and mental distress. Compensation can recognize your pain and suffering and help you find comfort during this difficult time.
- Property Damage: Auto accidents can cause significant damage to your vehicle or personal property. Compensation can cover repair or replacement costs to restore your property to its pre-accident condition.
- Loss of consortium: In cases where an accident results in the loss of companionship or the support of a spouse, compensation may be awarded to the affected family member.
- Punitive damages: In cases where the responsible party's actions were particularly reckless or malicious, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
- Wrongful death damages: In the tragic event of a wrongful death caused by an accident, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering.
Remember that each case will have to be evaluated in a particular way. Many times, compensations that could be requested for one type of case do not apply to another certain context. At The Ward Law, we carefully analyze each situation to find legal arguments that protect our clients' interests.
