I had a really good experience working with my lawyer Keetick Sanchez. She greatly helped me through a stressful time in my life and made the whole process go very smooth. Ms. Sanchez’s paralegal Sonia Espinoza was always available and took the time to answer all of my questions. Neither of them ever rushed me through anything, rather they provided me with thoughtful support and advice.
A personal injury case arises when someone suffers harm due to another person’s or entity’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct. Under New York law, the injured person (plaintiff) can file a claim against the responsible party (defendant) to recover compensation for their losses.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, you must prove four elements:
For example, drivers in Queens owe a duty of care to operate their vehicles safely. If a driver runs a red light at Queens Boulevard and Northern Boulevard and hits your car, they breached that duty. If you suffered a broken leg requiring surgery, you have damages. Your attorney must connect these elements to prove the driver’s negligence caused your injuries.
Key Takeaway: Personal injury cases require proving that the defendant’s negligence caused your harm. Keetick L. Sanchez can investigate your accident, gather evidence, and build a case establishing these elements.
Queens presents unique dangers for residents and workers. Heavy traffic along major corridors, active construction throughout the borough, and crowded sidewalks create daily risks. Understanding the most common types of injury cases helps you recognize when you may have a legal claim.
Motor vehicle collisions are among the most frequent personal injury cases in Queens. According to the New York City Department of Transportation, Queens consistently reports thousands of traffic crashes annually, resulting in deaths and serious injuries.
Common car accident scenarios include:
New York’s no-fault insurance system requires your own insurance to cover initial medical expenses regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your injuries meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law Section 5102(d), you can file a claim against the at-fault driver for additional compensation.
Queens has experienced significant construction activity in recent years, particularly in Long Island City, Astoria, and Jamaica. Construction workers face substantial risks on job sites, and New York law provides strong protections for injured workers.
New York Labor Law Section 240 (the “Scaffold Law”) holds property owners and general contractors strictly liable when workers fall from heights due to inadequate safety equipment. Section 241(6) requires compliance with specific Industrial Code safety regulations. These laws allow injured workers to pursue compensation beyond workers’ compensation benefits.
Common construction accident types include:
Keetick L. Sanchez brings particular experience to construction cases from her years as a trial litigation paralegal handling Labor Law 240 and 241 claims.
Property owners in Queens have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to address hazardous conditions, visitors can suffer serious injuries from slip and fall accidents.
Under New York premises liability law, you must prove the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to correct it. Common hazards include:
Queens sees significant pedestrian and cyclist traffic, particularly near subway stations, schools, and commercial areas in Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Elmhurst. When drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or drive distracted, pedestrians and cyclists suffer devastating injuries.
Pedestrian accident injuries often include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and multiple fractures because pedestrians have no protection against a vehicle’s impact.
Motorcyclists in Queens face heightened risks because other drivers often fail to notice them. Left-turn accidents, lane-change collisions, and rear-end crashes frequently cause severe injuries to riders.
New York’s comparative negligence rules mean you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Key Takeaway: Queens residents face injury risks from car accidents, construction incidents, slip and falls, and pedestrian collisions. Each case type has specific legal requirements, and Keetick L. Sanchez can identify which laws apply to your situation.

I would like to thank the KL Sánchez group and the lawyer Sanchez, for helping my mother and myself to fight the lawsuit in a car accident which turned out to be favorable to us due to the experience and the good work done. Likewise for Sonita Espinoza, who is the paralegal who assisted me in this almost 2-year process. I highly recommend this defense group for car accident cases, criminal defense, construction falls. Thank you very much and God bless you for your good work. Edwin Morazan.

I just recently had an awesome experience with the team at K L Sanchez law office. The lawyer, Kettick Sanchez, was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process, her assistant Kelly was also great at communicating and helping me with any concerns I had. Would definitely recommend their services due to their high quality of work and passion!
New York personal injury law allows victims to recover compensation for the full extent of their losses. These damages fall into two main categories.
Economic damages compensate you for financial losses with documented values:
| Damage Type | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Medical expenses | Hospital bills, surgery, physical therapy, prescription medications, and medical equipment |
| Future medical care | Ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and anticipated surgeries |
| Lost wages | Income lost while recovering from your injury |
| Lost earning capacity | Reduced ability to earn income due to permanent disability |
| Property damage | Vehicle repair or replacement, damaged personal items |
| Out-of-pocket costs | Transportation to medical appointments, home modifications |
Non-economic damages compensate you for losses that lack a specific dollar value:
New York generally does not have a statutory cap on pain and suffering damages in typical personal injury cases, allowing juries to award amounts reflecting the true impact of your injuries.
If a loved one died due to someone else’s negligence, New York’s wrongful death law allows recovery for “pecuniary injuries” to the family, which can include lost financial support and funeral expenses, and may include the value of lost parental guidance and services for children.
Key Takeaway: Personal injury victims in Queens can recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. There is no cap on most damages in New York.
Contact Keetick L. Sanchez to discuss the potential value of your case. Call (646) 701-7990.
New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 214 establishes a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. This means you must file your lawsuit within three years of the accident date, or you lose your right to sue.
However, several exceptions can shorten or extend this deadline:
| Situation | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Standard personal injury claim | 3 years from the accident date |
| Claim against New York City | Notice of Claim within 90 days, lawsuit within 1 year and 90 days |
| Claim against New York State | Generally requires filing a Notice of Claim or Notice of Intention within 90 days, with specific deadlines varying by claim type. |
| Medical malpractice | 2.5 years from the date of malpractice or the last treatment |
| Minor injured | Deadline tolled until age 18, then the standard deadline applies |
| Wrongful death | 2 years from the date of death |
Claims against government entities require a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident. Missing this deadline typically bars your claim entirely, even if the three-year statute of limitations has not expired.
New York follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule under Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 1411. This means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if a jury awards you $100,000 in damages but finds you were 25% responsible for the accident, you would receive $75,000. Unlike some states that bar recovery if you were 50% or more at fault, New York allows recovery at any fault percentage.
Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured victims to reduce their payout. They may argue you were speeding, distracted, or failed to see an obvious hazard. Keetick L. Sanchez can counter these arguments and work to minimize your assigned fault percentage.

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident was tough, but having this Keetick by my side made all the difference. Her skill in the courtroom and compassion during my recovery period were more than I could have asked for. Truly the best in Queens.
Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Their goal is to pay as little as possible on every claim. Understanding their tactics helps you protect your interests.
Do not provide recorded statements or sign broad medical authorizations without consulting an attorney. Let your lawyer communicate with the insurance company on your behalf. This prevents you from inadvertently harming your claim.
Keetick L. Sanchez handles all insurance company communications for her clients, protecting them from these tactics while pursuing fair compensation.

The cost depends on the facts of your case and how it is handled. Some cases may involve additional costs, and the timing of those costs can vary. K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C., can explain the fee structure during your free consultation so you know what to expect. Our team handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront costs, and the firm only collects a fee if we recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows injured victims to access quality legal representation regardless of their current financial situation.
Case duration varies depending on injury severity, liability disputes, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Simple cases may resolve in several months, while complex cases involving serious injuries can take two years or longer. Keetick can provide a more specific timeline after reviewing your case.
New York’s pure comparative negligence rule allows you to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still pursue a claim. For example, if you were 30% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you could recover $70,000.
You should consult an attorney before accepting any settlement offer. Initial offers often fail to account for future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and the full extent of pain and suffering. Once you accept a settlement, you cannot seek additional compensation later.
New York’s no-fault insurance system limits lawsuits for car accidents unless your injuries meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law Section 5102(d). Qualifying injuries include significant disfigurement, bone fractures, permanent limitation of a body organ or member, and injuries substantially preventing you from performing daily activities for at least 90 of the 180 days following the accident.
Workers’ compensation typically provides the exclusive remedy against your employer for workplace injuries. However, you may have a third-party claim against other negligent parties such as property owners, general contractors, equipment manufacturers, or subcontractors. Construction workers injured due to inadequate fall protection may pursue claims under New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241.
