If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident in Queens, New York, you need an experienced attorney who will fight for your rights. At The Law Offices of Lucille A. Anzalone, we have been representing car accident victims across Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Nassau County for over 30 years.

Why You Need an Attorney

New York follows a no-fault insurance system, which means your own insurance company covers certain expenses regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your injuries are serious — including fractures, disfigurement, significant limitation of a body function, or other qualifying conditions — you may have the right to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for full compensation including pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses.

Important Deadlines

Strict deadlines apply in New York car accident cases. You generally have 30 days to file a no-fault claim and three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing these deadlines can permanently forfeit your right to compensation.

Our Experience

With over three decades of experience handling car accident cases in Queens and throughout New York City, attorney Lucille A. Anzalone personally handles every case — from the initial consultation through settlement or trial. We don't outsource your case. We fight for you.
