Injury Victims in Queens Often Miss Critical Legal Deadlines
Queens, NY – With car accidents on the rise across Queens, injured drivers are struggling to understand their legal rights—especially when insurance companies deny or delay claims. The law firm of Tarshis and Hammerman is urging victims to take immediate legal steps, as early mistakes can cost thousands in lost compensation.
From Astoria to Jamaica, crash victims often wait too long to get help, only to find out they’ve missed key deadlines or signed away rights to compensation. Tarshis and Hammerman now offers no-obligation consultations to help drivers take the right next step—even if they’re unsure they have a case.

Why Fast Action After a Crash Matters
“Most people think if the police showed up and a report was filed, their rights are protected. That’s not true,” said a firm spokesperson. “In Queens, even a minor rear-end crash can lead to lasting injuries, and if you don’t act fast, insurance companies will take advantage of the delay.”
The firm has represented clients in car crash cases involving pedestrians, cyclists, uninsured drivers, and hit-and-run collisions—cases where larger firms may push quick settlements or delegate claims to non-attorney staff.
New Focus on Uber and Lyft Accidents in Queens
With rideshare use climbing in Rego Park, Long Island City, and Forest Hills, the firm is also addressing the legal gaps many riders and drivers face after an accident involving Uber or Lyft. These cases often involve multiple insurance companies, and passengers are frequently unsure whether to file a claim against the rideshare driver, the app company, or another vehicle involved.
“Rideshare accidents are complex. You need a lawyer who knows how to deal with Uber’s or Lyft’s legal teams—and who won’t let you get passed around by claims departments,” said the firm.
Tarshis and Hammerman helps both rideshare passengers and rideshare drivers navigate injury claims, medical bills, and loss of income following a crash.
A Local Firm with a Personal Approach
Unlike many heavily marketed firms, Tarshis and Hammerman handles every case directly. Clients work with a real attorney from day one, ensuring no detail is overlooked. The firm has helped recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
