Learn moreWhen you're injured because of someone else's negligence, the insurance company gets to work immediately, and rarely in your favor. At Shim Law Group, P.C., we know how adjusters build their files, minimize payouts, and pressure injured people into signing away their rights before they understand what their case is actually worth. We put that knowledge to work for you from the moment you call.
Our Bayside office has represented injured clients across Queens and the greater New York Metropolitan area in car accidents, bicycle and pedestrian collisions, motorcycle crashes, and truck accidents. We know New York's no-fault insurance rules, how comparative negligence affects what a claim is worth, and what it takes to meet the state's serious injury threshold, knowledge that shapes our strategy from the first consultation.
Every case starts the same way for us: understanding exactly what happened and what it has cost you. From there, our work is hands-on at every stage.
Car accidents create immediate complications involving injuries, medical costs, and insurance claims. We offer legal support to help clients navigate the aftermath and obtain the compensation they deserve, whether the case involves a rear-end collision, a T-bone accident, a distracted or drunk driver, or a hit and run.
Common injuries we see after a New York car accident include whiplash, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, soft tissue injuries, internal injuries, and the emotional distress that follows a serious crash. Many of these injuries carry long-term consequences, and insurance companies routinely undervalue them.
Insurance companies have their own lawyers working to minimize what they pay, and they know most injured people are not familiar with New York's insurance and injury laws. We are. That knowledge is how we counteract adjuster tactics, like early lowball offers and recorded statements designed to shift blame, that lead to inadequate settlements for people who don't have a lawyer. It also means one less thing for you to manage while you focus on healing.
Shim Law Group works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and you don't pay unless we win your case.
Shim Law Group is a boutique firm by design. Your case is not handed off to a paralegal or a call center after you sign on. Founding attorney Shimun A. Ilyayev works your case personally, applying the same thorough preparation to every negotiation and, when necessary, every trial.
We built our practice on knowing New York personal injury law well enough to spot the details a busier firm might miss: the right theory of liability, the full scope of your damages, and the leverage points that move an insurance company off its opening offer. From your first call through your final settlement or verdict, we handle the paperwork, deadlines, and insurance company tactics so you can focus on your recovery.

In New York, you typically have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim, so it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Seek medical attention, document the scene, report the accident to the authorities and your insurance company, keep copies of your treatment records, and contact an attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Our fee comes out of your settlement or award, so you don't pay unless we win your case.
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, and in cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages.
New York follows comparative negligence rules, meaning fault can be shared between parties. Evidence like police reports, witness statements, and expert analysis helps determine responsibility and how much you can recover.
A denial is not the end of your case. It can be challenged through additional evidence gathering, negotiation, or, if necessary, litigation. Most cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it may go to trial.
Shim Law Group is always looking to help those in need.
