Bicycle Accidents in Queens Neighborhoods
Flushing, one of Queens’ most active commercial and residential districts, presents unique hazards for cyclists. Union St, like many streets in the area, is heavily trafficked by buses, delivery trucks, rideshare drivers, and pedestrians—making it a particularly challenging environment for safe cycling.
Collisions between cars and bicycles in these congested zones often result from limited visibility, sudden turns, or failure to yield in crosswalks and intersections. Unlike drivers, cyclists have little protection during impact, which increases the likelihood of serious injury even at low speeds.
Bicycle crashes often leave victims with lasting physical injuries and emotional trauma. They may also face long recovery periods, difficulty returning to work, and uncertainty about insurance or legal options. For these reasons, it’s critical for injured cyclists to seek both medical evaluation and legal advice early on—even if the injuries appear manageable at first.
