A speeding biker killed after crashing into a cement pillar on a Queens street was identified as Daniel Hernandez, 25. The crash occurred near 50th Avenue about 9 p.m. on November 1, the police informed. The pillar holds the Brooklyn Queens Expressway overpass and is at the end of Calvary Cemetery. 

Hernandez, who was living in Ridgewood, Queens, was rushing east on Laurel Hill Boulevard in Sunnyside. He was riding a blue 2007 Yamaha. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet, but still ended with traumatic bodily injuries and died at the scene. 

The state of New York is strict about motorcyclists wearing helmets. However, even the helmet is not a warranty for the life of the rider. Motorcyclists aren’t protected so even a small impact can be fatal for them. 

The number of motorcycle accidents is almost as high as that of car accidents. Speeding, negligence, splitting lanes, road bumps, open doors of cars are only a few of the many factors that contribute to these types of collisions. Drivers of vehicles are often unable to spot motorcyclists due to their size. When drivers make a left turn, they usually look for other large vehicles and fail to notice an approaching motorcycle.

If you’re a motorcyclist and end up in an accident because of someone else’s negligence, you can seek a claim for your injuries and damages. To do this, consult with a New York motorcycle accident attorney. They would review your case and help you collect evidence, file the claim, and negotiate with the insurance company (in case they offer a low settlement). 

If you need legal help for such matters, allow our team at Cellino Law to review your case and help you file the claim. Our mission is to help you collect your settlement.

  • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity.

  • Cellino Law was a great company to work with. From the beginning they came out and met with my uncle and myself and assured us that everything would be taken care of from beginning to end our lawyer state and constant contact with us to make sure that everything would go smoothly and it did. I would definitely recommend anybody to go to Cellino Law for whatever help they need. And specifically please ask for the lawyer that we had Mr. Alan Silverstein. He was amazing and his staff was always attentive. Please go with them for your next law needs.
