Hit While Walking in Queens?
You Have Rights. We Fight to Enforce Them.
Queens has some of the highest pedestrian injury rates in New York City. Corridors like Queens Boulevard, Northern Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue see hundreds of pedestrian strikes every year. When a driver's inattention, speeding, or failure to yield changes your life, Raytsin Law Firm PC pursues every source of recovery — no-fault benefits, uninsured motorist coverage, and full third-party lawsuits for pain and suffering.
Why Choose Us
Why Injured Pedestrians Choose Raytsin Law Firm PC
Aggressive Insurance Advocacy
Insurers routinely lowball pedestrian claims. We build cases with medical documentation, expert reconstruction, and scene evidence that force real offers.
Millions Recovered for Injured Pedestrians
We have secured seven- and six-figure recoveries for pedestrians struck across Queens. Prior results never guarantee outcome, but they show what a prepared case can achieve.
No-Fault Plus Third-Party Claims
Pedestrians hit by a vehicle are covered by the driver's no-fault benefits — and can pursue a separate lawsuit for pain and suffering when the injury meets NY's serious-injury threshold.
No Fee Unless We Win
Every pedestrian accident case is handled on contingency. You pay nothing upfront and no legal fees unless and until we recover for you.

Cases We Handle
Types of Queens Pedestrian Accident Claims
Crosswalk Accidents
Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks violate NY VTL § 1151 and are almost always at fault when a collision occurs.
Intersection Collisions
Left- and right-turning drivers frequently strike pedestrians who have the right of way in busy Queens intersections.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
When a driver flees the scene, uninsured motorist coverage and MVAIC benefits can still pay for your medical care and lost wages.
Backing & Parking Lot Strikes
Drivers backing out of driveways, garages, and parking lots have a duty to look. Failure to see a pedestrian is negligence.
Bus & Commercial Vehicle Strikes
MTA buses, delivery vans, and rideshare vehicles cause devastating pedestrian injuries — with layers of insurance to pursue.
Distracted Driver Collisions
Texting, phone use, and in-car screens take a driver's eyes off the road. Phone records often prove exactly what happened.
Drunk Driving Strikes
Impaired drivers cause some of the most catastrophic pedestrian injuries. Punitive damages may be available in DUI cases.
Speeding & Reckless Driving
Speed dramatically increases a pedestrian's risk of death. NYC's 25 mph limit exists for a reason — violations show negligence.
Failure-to-Yield Injuries
Failing to yield to a pedestrian with the right of way is a violation and, under NYC's Right of Way Law, can be a crime.
Dangerous Corridors
Queens Streets Where Pedestrians Are Hit Most
Queens Boulevard
Once known as the 'Boulevard of Death' — wide, high-speed lanes and long crossings still make it one of NYC's most dangerous corridors for pedestrians.
Northern Boulevard
Fast-moving traffic through Jackson Heights, Woodside, and Flushing produces frequent turn and crosswalk collisions.
Roosevelt Avenue
Dense storefronts, elevated 7-train shadows, and heavy foot traffic combine to make Roosevelt one of Queens' most crash-prone streets.
