What to Do If You're Hurt in Parkchester
Accidents in Parkchester — whether inside a residential building, near a storefront, or at a busy intersection — require quick documentation. Here’s what to do step-by-step.
- Report the incident immediately.
If you’re injured in a residential building or shared area, notify property management.
🏢 Parkchester North: 718-320-6000
🏢 Parkchester South: 718-518-1000
If the injury happened in a store or restaurant, ask the manager for an incident report. - Take clear photos. Photograph the exact area — including any hazards like wet floors, cracked pavement, poor lighting, or broken steps. Also include a photo of the entrance or address to confirm location.
- Get names of any witnesses. Ask people nearby for their names and contact info in case a statement is needed later. This helps especially in slip and fall cases where camera footage may not exist.
- Seek medical attention. Visit urgent care, your doctor, or an ER as soon as possible. Even if it feels minor, document it. Nearby options include CityMD at 731 White Plains Road or Montefiore Urgent Care on Tremont Ave.
- Keep all records. Save every receipt, prescription, visit summary, and anything provided by store staff or building employees. These details may be needed later — even if nobody followed up with you after the incident.
- Write down what happened while it’s fresh. Include time, weather, location, and what caused the injury. These small facts can help show who’s responsible down the line.
You don’t have to decide anything right away. But documenting what happened is the most important thing after any Parkchester accident.

Who’s Responsible for Injuries in Parkchester?
Parkchester is a mix of residential buildings, retail spaces, and busy public streets. Depending on where the injury happened, different parties may be responsible.
- Common areas (hallways, lobbies, sidewalks around buildings): These are typically maintained by Parkchester North or South management. If poor lighting, leaks, or unsafe conditions caused the injury, liability may rest with the building owner or property manager.
- Inside stores or restaurants: Every business within Parkchester is responsible for its own premises. Falls inside places like Marshalls, Starbucks, or local markets are generally handled through the store’s insurance.
- Parking lots and loading zones: Depending on location, these may be maintained by building management or the business leasing the space. Responsibility depends on who controls and maintains the lot.
- On streets or sidewalks (e.g., White Plains Rd or Tremont Ave): If the injury occurred on a public sidewalk or involved a city-owned vehicle, the City of New York could be liable — especially if poor maintenance played a role.
- Accidents involving drivers or others: If you were struck by a vehicle or injured due to someone else’s actions, that individual’s auto or renter’s insurance may be responsible for damages.
Determining liability in Parkchester depends on where the accident occurred, who was responsible for maintaining the area, and whether another person or vehicle was involved.

These are real examples of what we’ve seen from people injured in and around Parkchester — stories like yours, based on everyday situations.

- Rear-end crash near Hugh Grant Circle: A driver waiting in traffic was hit from behind by a distracted rideshare driver. Back pain set in days later, and they eventually needed spinal injections.
- Sidewalk fall outside a White Plains Rd deli: A cracked sidewalk slab tilted under a senior’s foot, causing a fall and shoulder fracture. The property owner had been cited before for failing to repair the walkway.
- Slip inside a Parkchester laundromat: Water from a clogged drain collected in front of the folding tables. No cones were used, and a customer slipped and injured her lower back.

👉 See how urgent care visits impact your caseParkchester Injury FAQ
These are the most common questions Bronx residents ask after being injured in Parkchester — especially in apartment buildings, stores, or nearby intersections.
Who do I report an injury to in Parkchester?
If you were injured in a Parkchester building or common area, contact either Parkchester North (718-320-6000) or South (718-518-1000) management, depending on the property. For accidents inside stores or restaurants, ask the manager for an incident report on-site.
Is Parkchester management always responsible?
Not always. If the injury happened in a retail store, parking lot, or public street, responsibility may fall on the business owner or the City of New York. It depends on the exact location and who was supposed to maintain it.
What if I didn’t go to urgent care right away?
Many Parkchester clients don’t feel pain until later. Even if you waited a day or two, visiting a nearby clinic like CityMD on White Plains Rd can still create a helpful medical record tied to your injury.
What if no one saw me fall or get hit?
A witness isn’t required, but documentation is. Take photos, write down what happened, and report the incident to management or the store. Security footage or maintenance records may later support your claim.
How long do I have to report or file a claim?
Most Bronx injury claims have a 3-year limit. But if your case involves a city-owned sidewalk, bus stop, or government vehicle, you may have only 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. It’s best to confirm this early.

Who’s Responsible After a Bronx Highway Crash?
Highway crashes in the Bronx often involve more than one vehicle — and more than one party at fault. We help figure out who's legally responsible, and which insurance policy pays.
🚛 Trucking Companies
We check GPS logs, black box data, driver hours, and truck maintenance records to hold commercial carriers accountable after serious highway crashes.
🚓 City or State Vehicles
If you were hit by an NYPD cruiser, MTA bus, or DOT truck, you may only have 90 days to file a notice of claim. We act fast to protect your rights.
🚙 Reckless or Speeding Drivers
From lane-cutters to distracted drivers, we identify who caused the crash — even in multi-car pileups at highway speeds.
🏗️ Construction Zone Hazards
Missing cones, bad signage, or dangerous lane merges in work zones can lead to claims against contractors or agencies managing the site.
🧾 Commercial Vehicles (Out of State)
Company vans, moving trucks, and rental vehicles from outside New York are common on I-95 and the Cross Bronx. We track down ownership and file across state lines if needed.
8 Things to Do After a Bronx Highway Accident
Tap any item below to see exactly what to do after a crash — especially if a tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle was involved.
1. Get medical care immediately
Even if you walked away from the crash, get checked. Highway injuries — especially from high-speed or truck crashes — can take hours or days to show up.
2. Photograph the vehicles and roadway
Take wide shots, close-ups, and video. Get the truck’s signage, skid marks, road conditions, and debris. This is especially important if it was a tractor-trailer.
3. Exchange information with all drivers
Get license plates, names, insurance info — and trucking company details if it was a commercial vehicle. Take photos of DOT numbers or logos if you can.
4. Ask for witness names and numbers
Highway crashes happen fast — if anyone pulled over or saw it happen, their info is gold. Witnesses disappear quickly once traffic clears.
5. Do not speak to the trucking company’s insurer
They may call quickly and sound helpful. Don’t give any statements. You are not required to speak to them — and they’re trained to protect the company.
6. Write down what happened while it’s fresh
Include where you were coming from, what lane you were in, what you saw, and how the crash unfolded. These notes help lock in your memory later.
7. Track your injuries and disruptions
Keep a simple log — pain, missed work, doctor visits, stress, or anything that’s changed. Highway accident injuries can get worse over time.
8. Don’t sign anything from insurance without advice
If a trucking company or insurer offers a quick check — pause. It might be far less than what you’re owed. One call can clarify your options.

Our Bronx Highway Case Results
These are real settlements from serious accidents on Bronx highways — including the Cross Bronx Expressway, Major Deegan, and Bruckner Blvd.
$475,000 – Multi-car pileup on I-95 ⮟
Our client was rear-ended during a sudden slowdown and pushed into the vehicle ahead. The chain reaction involved four cars. We proved a truck failed to brake and caused the pileup — resulting in a strong settlement.
$420,000 – Truck collision on Bruckner Blvd ⮟
A commercial box truck veered into our client’s lane. The crash led to shoulder surgery and months off work. The trucking company denied fault — we subpoenaed dash cam footage and forced a high-value settlement.
$305,000 – Rear-end at Exit 6, Cross Bronx ⮟
Heavy traffic led to a sudden stop. Our client was hit at full speed by a distracted driver and suffered a concussion and neck injuries. We documented treatment thoroughly and resolved the case before trial.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is evaluated on its own facts.
Types of Bronx Highway Accident Cases We Handle
Whether you were hit on the Cross Bronx Expressway, I-95 (New England Thruway), Bruckner Blvd, the Major Deegan, or the Bronx River Parkway — we’ve handled it. These are the real cases we fight and win.
Common Injuries from Bronx Highway Accidents
On roads like the Cross Bronx, I-95, and the Deegan, injuries can be severe — especially with trucks or high speeds involved. These are the injuries we see most often.
Neck and spine trauma
Sudden stops or truck impact can compress the spine or whip the neck. Pain may show up later as stiffness, numbness, or reduced range of motion.
Concussions and head injuries
Common even without direct head contact. A sudden jolt on the highway can shake the brain. Watch for dizziness, fog, or light sensitivity.
Herniated discs and back damage
These often come from rear-end crashes or heavy truck force. Back injuries can affect daily movement and require long-term care or injections.
Broken bones and fractures
We see broken legs, arms, and ribs from highway rollovers, spinouts, or hard side impacts. Some fractures aren't obvious at the scene.
Chest injuries from airbags or seatbelts
Bruising, sternum pain, or cracked ribs can come from the force of safety devices doing their job during a highway crash.
Shoulder, knee, and joint damage
Joints are often twisted or slammed during a crash. These injuries can take months of physical therapy and may limit work or daily tasks.
Internal injuries or bruising
Not every injury shows on the outside. Blunt force trauma can cause internal bleeding, organ impact, or deep tissue damage.
Emotional trauma and PTSD
Many clients report flashbacks, fear of driving, sleep issues, or panic attacks after Bronx highway crashes. These are real injuries and deserve real care.
“The insurance company said my crash on the Cross Bronx was minor and didn’t offer anything. MyBronxLawyer fought back and got me a real settlement.”

Hurt in a Bronx highway crash? These are the questions our clients ask us most after accidents on the Cross Bronx, I-95, Bruckner, Deegan, and Bronx River Parkway.
Do I need a lawyer even if the other driver admitted fault?
Yes. Even when the other driver admits fault, their insurance company will still fight the payout. We make sure they don't downplay your injuries or delay your claim — especially with high-speed crashes on Bronx highways.
What if it happened near the Cross Bronx or Deegan?
We handle crashes on every Bronx highway — Cross Bronx Expressway, Major Deegan, I-95, Bruckner Blvd, and Bronx River Pkwy. These roads are chaotic and dangerous, and we know how to work with police reports and traffic footage from these zones.
Can I still get paid if multiple cars were involved?
Yes. Highway accidents often involve multiple vehicles, and fault can be shared. We track down insurance for every party and figure out who’s legally responsible — even if the crash was a pileup or chain reaction.
What if I didn’t go to the ER that day?
It happens all the time — especially if police clear the scene quickly. As long as you follow up with a doctor or urgent care shortly after, we can still build a strong case. Just don’t wait too long.
Will I have to deal with the trucking company?
Not if we’re on the case. We handle all communication with insurance, trucking companies, and adjusters. These companies act fast — so the sooner you contact us, the better.
How long do I have to file a highway accident claim?
For most Bronx highway crashes, you have 3 years — but if a city vehicle or MTA truck was involved, your window may be as short as 90 days. Don’t wait. We’ll check what deadlines apply to your case for free.
Bronx Highway Accident FAQ – What Drivers Ask Most
These questions come up often after crashes on roads like the Cross Bronx Expressway, I-95, Bruckner Blvd, Major Deegan, and Bronx River Parkway. The answers below may help clarify your next steps.
What should I do right after a Bronx highway accident?
Call 911 and get medical help if needed. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and roadway. Get contact and insurance info from all drivers. If possible, note the exact highway, direction, and nearest exit or landmark.
Can I file a claim if multiple cars were involved?
Yes. Multi-vehicle collisions are common on Bronx highways. Fault may be shared, and more than one insurance policy could apply. Even if you're unsure who caused it, a claim can still be made after an investigation.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
New York follows comparative fault. That means even if you were partly responsible, you can still recover damages. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not disqualified entirely.
How long does it take to settle a Bronx highway accident claim?
It depends. Some claims settle in a few months, especially if injuries are documented early and liability is clear. More complex cases — involving trucks, disputed fault, or surgery — can take longer to resolve.
Is it too late to report the crash if I didn’t go to the ER?
Not necessarily. You can still seek medical care within days of the crash and document your injuries. Insurance companies may question delays, but many people don’t feel pain right away — especially after highway impacts.

Who’s Responsible After a Parkchester Accident?
Accidents in Parkchester can involve multiple parties. Whether you slipped inside a store or got hit near a busy intersection, we look closely at who's legally responsible — and make sure the right party is held accountable. Here’s where we start.
If you were injured in a hallway, lobby, or outdoor common area, we investigate building management’s records, complaint history, and maintenance practices.
If you were hurt inside stores like Marshalls, Macy’s, or Starbucks, we request security footage, cleaning logs, and witness accounts to prove liability.
If you were struck while walking through a parking lot or backing out of a space, we obtain footage and incident reports to determine fault.
Slippery lobby floors or icy sidewalks often trace back to third-party cleaners. We examine service contracts and whether warning signs or salt were properly used.

Yes. If you tripped on a sidewalk in Parkchester, especially near a store or housing entrance, report it to 311 and take photos. Some sidewalks are city property; others are managed by the condo or building.
How long do I have to file a Parkchester accident claim?
Most Parkchester injury cases must be filed within 3 years. But if the injury involved the city (like a sidewalk or bus stop), you may only have 90 days to file a notice. Call us early so you don’t miss your deadline.
Can I still file a Parkchester claim if I already got medical care?
Absolutely. If you went to CityMD, Montefiore, or another urgent care after your Parkchester accident, we’ll help gather records and make sure your treatment supports your claim.
Who’s responsible for a store-related injury in Parkchester?
In Parkchester, stores like Marshalls or Macy’s may be liable — or the property owner, or a third-party cleaning crew. We investigate all parties and check video footage, maintenance logs, and past complaints.
What evidence helps in a Parkchester injury case?
In Parkchester cases, photos, video, witness info, and even your shoes can matter. Save everything — including medical bills, texts, and clothing — especially if management denies what happened.
How much is a Parkchester accident case worth?
It depends on the injury, lost wages, and who’s at fault. We’ve recovered six-figure settlements for Parkchester falls and building-related injuries. Call us and we’ll give you an honest evaluation.
How quickly can you help with a Parkchester case?
Same day. If you were injured in Parkchester, we’ll start gathering evidence, notifying building management, and protecting your rights immediately — before footage or reports disappear.

What should I do if I slipped in a Parkchester building and no one helped me?
Take photos, save your clothes, and go to urgent care right away. Report it to the building office. Then call us — we’ll take over from there.
I tripped on the sidewalk in Parkchester — do I have a case?
If the sidewalk was cracked, uneven, or poorly maintained, you might. We’ll find out who owns the property — the city, the building, or a store — and start the process fast.
Can I sue if I fell in a Parkchester store like Marshalls or Macy’s?
Yes — if they didn’t clean up a spill, mark a hazard, or maintain safe conditions. We’ll get the surveillance footage and incident reports before they disappear.
Do I need a lawyer for a Parkchester accident or can I handle it myself?
You can try, but you’ll likely get lowballed. Most Parkchester clients who call us already tried on their own — and we usually get them much more. The call is free.

Some settle in a few months, others take longer depending on your treatment. We move quickly to get you paid, but only when your case is ready and strong.
What if I already went to CityMD after my Parkchester accident?
Perfect. We’ll get your records, link your treatment to the incident, and use it to support your claim. Keep your receipts, prescriptions, and follow-up paperwork.
How much money can I get for a Parkchester accident?
It depends on your injuries, treatment, missed work, and who’s at fault. We’ve recovered six-figure results for falls and sidewalk injuries in Parkchester — and we’ll fight for yours.

Right now. We’ll preserve evidence, notify the building, and stop the insurance company from getting ahead of you. Call today — we move fast.
What does it cost to hire a lawyer for a Parkchester accident?
