A woman from Selden was killed and a four-year-old boy ended up injured in a Long Island Expressway collision. The accident happened on the morning of November 2 around 8:15 a.m., Suffolk police informed.

Thirty-five-year-old Michelle Carpenter was operating a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix going westbound on the expressway near Exit 53 when she turned to avoid stopped traffic. The driver lost control of the car, which swerved off the highway, hit a tree, and flipped over in the woods.

Carpenter was taken to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore where doctors pronounced her dead. The boy had minor injuries and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip. The police informed that the child was sitting in the back seat.  

The vehicle was taken for a safety check. Detectives are asking anyone with information about the collision to call the Fourth Squad at 631-854-8452.

Suffering a car wreck or losing a loved one in an accident is never easy. Such tragedies are changing people’s lives forever. If you were injured in a car accident, you need to seek legal help from a car accident attorney. They would help you immensely especially with gathering evidence, filing for a compensation claim, and negotiating with the insurance company.

The insurance company will work hard to offer a lower settlement or no settlement at all. Your lawyer won’t accept any offer that is low and unsuitable to cover your medical treatments, lost wages, and other expenses. Your focus should be on your recovery and nothing else.

Testimonials

  • 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. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

  • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.

    Linda

  • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.

    Veola

  • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.
