Shim Law Group is a personal injury firm based in neighboring Bayside, a short trip east of downtown Flushing along Northern Boulevard. We represent people hurt in downtown Flushing, Murray Hill, East Flushing, Queensboro Hill, and the streets around Kissena Park, and we meet clients in person at our office or talk through a case by phone, whichever is easier for you.
Downtown Flushing's Crowded Streets
Few places in New York are as busy as downtown Flushing. The city's Department of Transportation ranks the corner of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue among the busiest pedestrian intersections in the city, at the end of the 7 line and next to the Flushing-Main Street LIRR station, with heavy bus traffic moving through all day. Main Street, Roosevelt Avenue, Northern Boulevard, Kissena Boulevard, and College Point Boulevard all carry that load, and the Van Wyck and Whitestone Expressways and the Long Island Expressway run along the edges of the neighborhood.
When that many people, cars, and buses share the same streets, accidents happen. We represent pedestrians struck in crosswalks, passengers and drivers hurt in collisions, cyclists, and people injured in slip and fall accidents on sidewalks and in stores, along with truck, motorcycle, and construction accident cases across Queens.
If You Are Hurt in Flushing
Call 911. Flushing is covered by the NYPD's 109th Precinct, at 37-05 Union Street, and the police report is one of the first things an insurance company will ask about
Get checked out at an emergency room, even if the pain seems minor. Flushing has two hospitals with 24-hour emergency departments: NewYork-Presbyterian Queens on Main Street and Flushing Hospital Medical Center on Parsons Boulevard
If you can, photograph the scene, the vehicles involved, and the traffic signals or crosswalk, and ask nearby stores whether their cameras caught what happened. Footage is often recorded over within days
After a car accident, send your no-fault application to the insurance company within 30 days
Do not sign anything or give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster until you have talked to a lawyer
Downtown Flushing is one of the busiest bus hubs in Queens, and a crash involving a city bus, a city vehicle, or a dangerous city street or sidewalk is handled differently from an ordinary claim. Claims against New York City and public authorities generally require a written notice of claim within 90 days of the accident, and the deadline to sue is much shorter than the three years New York usually allows. If a bus or city property was involved, talk to a lawyer right away so that window does not close.
If You Were Partly at Fault
Insurance companies often argue that an injured pedestrian or driver was partly to blame, hoping you will assume you have no case. New York follows a comparative fault rule: even if you were partly responsible, you can still recover compensation, reduced by your share of the fault. How that share is decided depends on the evidence, which is why the police report, witnesses, and video matter so much.
Why Flushing Clients Choose Shim Law Group
Shim Law Group keeps a deliberately small docket. Founding attorney Shimun A. Ilyayev works your case personally, from the first call through settlement or trial. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we win your case. When a lawsuit is necessary, Queens personal injury cases are typically filed in Queens County Supreme Court in Jamaica, and we handle the filings and court appearances.
Free, no-obligation case consultation
No fees unless we win your case
Direct access to your attorney
An office minutes from Flushing, in Bayside
We speak English, Spanish, and Russian

213-33 39th Avenue, Suite 203 Bayside, New York 11361
Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Our office is in Bayside, a short drive east along Northern Boulevard. From downtown Flushing, the Q12 bus runs along Northern Boulevard, and Bayside is four stops from Flushing-Main Street on the LIRR's Port Washington Branch. Consultations are free, in person or by phone.
Yes. Bayside borders Flushing, and we represent injured people from Flushing and across Queens. You can meet us at our office at 213-33 39th Avenue, Suite 203, or we can talk through your case by phone.
Claims involving a city bus or other public vehicle follow special rules. You generally must serve a written notice of claim within 90 days of the accident before you can sue, and the time to file a lawsuit is shorter than usual. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible so the deadline is not missed.
Often, yes. New York uses comparative fault, so being partly responsible reduces your compensation by your share of the fault but does not by itself bar your claim.
Most New York personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the injury. Claims against the city or a public authority have much shorter deadlines, starting with a 90-day notice of claim. Speak with an attorney early, because the right deadline depends on the facts.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, so our fee comes out of your settlement or award, and you pay nothing unless we win your case.
