Shim Law Group's office is at 213-33 39th Avenue, Suite 203, in Bayside, a few blocks from the Bayside LIRR station and the shops and restaurants of Bell Boulevard. When you are hurt, you should not have to travel into Manhattan or wait on a call center to talk to a lawyer. You can sit down with us in person, close to home, and talk through what happened.
We represent injured people from Bayside and the surrounding neighborhoods of northeast Queens, including Bay Terrace, Oakland Gardens, Auburndale, Douglaston, Little Neck, Whitestone, and Flushing, as well as clients across the rest of New York City and Long Island.
Accidents on Bayside's Roads and Sidewalks
Bayside sits between some of the busiest roads in Queens. Northern Boulevard, Bell Boulevard, and Francis Lewis Boulevard carry heavy local traffic, and the Clearview Expressway, the Cross Island Parkway, and the Long Island Expressway all run through or alongside the neighborhood. Add the foot traffic on Bell Boulevard and the commuters walking to and from the LIRR, and drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians share a lot of the same space.
We handle the full range of personal injury cases that come out of that mix, including car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall injuries on sidewalks and in stores, and construction accidents. Every case starts the same way: we listen to what happened, gather the evidence, and explain your options in plain language.
What to Do After an Accident in Bayside
Call 911. In Bayside, accidents are handled by the NYPD's 111th Precinct, at 45-06 215th Street, and the police report becomes an important part of your case
Get medical care right away, even if you feel fine. NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, at 56-45 Main Street in Flushing, runs a 24-hour emergency department
Photograph the scene, the vehicles, your injuries, and any hazard like a broken sidewalk or a wet floor, and get the names and numbers of witnesses
If you were hurt in a car accident, file for no-fault benefits with the insurance company within 30 days. Missing that deadline can cost you coverage for your medical bills and lost wages
Talk to a lawyer before you give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster
Many accidents in Bayside involve New York City itself: a city bus, a sanitation truck, a city-owned vehicle, or a defect in a street or sidewalk the city is responsible for. These cases follow different rules. Before you can sue the city, you generally have to serve a written notice of claim within 90 days of the accident, and the lawsuit itself usually has to be filed within one year and 90 days. That is far shorter than the three years New York generally allows for other personal injury cases, so if a city vehicle or city property may be involved, call us as soon as you can.
Where Bayside Injury Cases Are Heard
Most cases settle without a trial, but when a lawsuit is necessary, personal injury cases from Bayside are typically filed in Queens County Supreme Court, Civil Term, at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica. We handle the filings, the court appearances, and the scheduling, and we prepare every case as if it may go to trial, because that preparation is what moves insurance companies off their opening offers.
Why Bayside Clients Choose Shim Law Group
Shim Law Group is a personal injury firm with a deliberately small docket. Founding attorney Shimun A. Ilyayev works your case personally, so you are not handed off to a paralegal or a call center after you sign on. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we win your case.

In most New York personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against New York City are much shorter: you generally must serve a notice of claim within 90 days and file suit within one year and 90 days. Because deadlines depend on the facts, speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Claims against New York City require a written notice of claim, generally within 90 days of the accident, before a lawsuit can be filed. Sidewalk and roadway cases can also turn on whether the city had notice of the defect. These rules are strict, so contact us quickly if city property or a city vehicle was involved.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, so our fee comes out of your settlement or award, and you do not pay unless we win your case.
