Personal injury in Corona?
Car accident. Slip and fall. Premises liability. Dog bite. Defective product. Construction accident. Corona is a dense central Queens neighborhood adjacent to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Heavy Latino community, dense brick-tenement housing, and Roosevelt Avenue commercial corridor. Rent-stabilization, dense pedestrian claims, and construction matters routine. Corona personal injury cases are governed by NY's 3-year statute of limitations (New York civil procedure rule 214). Most cases require evidence preservation, witness statements, and expert retention within 60 days.

What to know about personal injury cases in Corona
3-year statute of limitations (most cases)
NY's general personal-injury statute of limitations is 3 years from the date of injury (New York civil procedure rule 214). Medical malpractice is shorter (2.5 years). Wrongful death is 2 years. Government cases require a 90-day notice of claim — file early to avoid losing the claim.
Comparative fault — pure comparative negligence
NY uses pure comparative negligence — even if you're 99% at fault, you can still recover 1% of damages. This makes NY one of the most plaintiff-friendly states in the country for liability allocation.
Insurance policies often have multiple layers
Primary, umbrella, and excess policies frequently stack. We map all available coverage (employer wrap-ups for construction, business owner policies for premises) before negotiating.
Lien resolution before disbursement
Medicare/Medicaid/ERISA/no-fault liens must be resolved before settlement disbursement. Failure to handle properly creates personal liability for the lawyer. We handle this in-house.
