Top Rated Queens Personal Injury Attorney
Strategic Advocacy for Injury Victims Across Queens, NY
Queens Personal Injury Attorney Brett J. Nomberg has represented injury victims throughout Queens for over 30 years. He is the founder of the Law Office of Brett J. Nomberg, PLLC. His firm handles the full range of Queens personal injury claims — car accidents on Queens Boulevard, construction accidents, slip and fall injuries, pedestrian accidents, and medical malpractice. Brett personally manages every case. No associates are assigned. Clients can reach him any day, including weekends. The firm serves all of Queens and all five boroughs.
According to NYC DOT data, Queens recorded 74 traffic fatalities in 2024 — more than any other New York City borough. That does not include the thousands of additional Queens accident lawyer cases filed each year involving construction sites, NYCHA housing, MTA buses and subway stations, and negligent property owners. Queens Boulevard — long known as the “Boulevard of Death” — remains one of the most dangerous corridors in the city despite years of safety redesigns. When crashes happen, evidence disappears fast. Acting quickly matters.
Many Queens injury cases involve public agencies — the MTA, NYCHA, the NYC Department of Transportation, or the City of New York itself. When an injury occurs on government-controlled property, the claim requires a Notice of Claim filed within 90 days under General Municipal Law §50-e. Missing that deadline permanently bars your right to compensation. Queens injury cases involving private defendants fall under New York’s three-year statute of limitations under CPLR §214. As an experienced Queens personal injury lawyer, Brett handles all filings correctly and on time — so no deadline is ever missed.
Queens is New York City’s largest borough by land area. It is also one of the most diverse — with residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, commercial corridors, major highways, and two international airports all creating distinct accident patterns. Liability in any given Queens case may fall on a private owner, a city agency, a contractor, or a combination of all three.
Queens also contains a high concentration of MTA infrastructure — subway lines, bus routes, and commuter rail — as well as NYCHA housing developments and NYC-maintained streets. When any of these are involved in an injury, the municipal notice rules apply immediately.
Brett identifies all responsible parties from day one — including public entities that many injured people don’t recognize as government-controlled. He handles all Notice of Claim filings correctly and on time, preserving your legal rights before they expire.
Brett handles the full range of personal injury claims throughout Queens — from Flushing to Jamaica, from Astoria to Far Rockaway. Each case is investigated thoroughly and built for maximum recovery.
Queens injury victims who meet the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d) may pursue full compensation beyond no-fault benefits. Brett prepares every case as though it will go to verdict in Queens County Supreme Court — that level of preparation is what forces fair settlements.
Brett has tried and settled thousands of injury cases across all five boroughs, Westchester, and Long Island. His Queens results include a $3.2 million verdict for a Queens construction worker who fell 12 feet from a ladder, and a $1.4 million settlement for a Queens woman who slipped on ice outside her rented apartment.
“In 2007, a Manhattan defense attorney bragged that Brett’s client’s case was worth eleven cents. The jury came back with a $4.5 million verdict.”

Core Injury Practice Areas We Handle in Queens:
Car Accidents
Queens sees heavy traffic on roads like the LIE, Van Wyck Expressway, and Queens Boulevard—also known as “the Boulevard of Death.” We represent drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured in crashes involving rideshare vehicles, delivery trucks, and buses. Our team builds strong claims under CPLR §1411 to fight comparative fault and maximize compensation.
Construction Accidents
Ongoing development in Long Island City and Jamaica leads to frequent jobsite injuries. We use Labor Law §240 (Scaffold Law) and §241(6) to hold property owners and contractors strictly liable for elevation-related falls and unsafe work conditions. Queens construction injury victims may be entitled to both workers’ compensation and third-party claims.
Pedestrian Accidents
From Roosevelt Avenue to Rockaway Beach Boulevard, pedestrian injuries are common in Queens. We represent victims hit in marked and unmarked crosswalks, applying NY Vehicle and Traffic Law §1151 to establish right-of-way violations and recover damages for injuries caused by distracted or reckless drivers.
Slip and Fall Accidents
In Queens, most sidewalk injury claims involve private property owners, not the city. Under NYC Admin Code §7-210, property owners must maintain adjacent sidewalks. We gather weather data, sanitation records, and surveillance footage to prove negligence in cases involving ice, broken pavement, or debris.
Workers’ Compensation
Injured on the job in Queens? We help injured workers file claims and fight for benefits through the New York Workers’ Compensation Board. From warehouse back injuries in Ridgewood to delivery driver accidents in Elmhurst, we handle both claims and appeals when benefits are wrongfully denied.
Love always Emily & Preeta
We originally reached out to another attorney, but he strongly recommended that we contact Brett Nomberg. I had never sought legal advice before and was nervous in unfamiliar territory.
During one of the most painful and stressful times in our lives, Brett Nomberg and Dominika Szybisty were always there for us. They gave us not only brilliant legal counsel but also unwavering support, thoughtful advice, and a compassionate ear. Over nearly three agonizing years of litigation, we faced countless challenges—dozens of depositions and even a trial. Ultimately, the case settled, but through it all, Brett and Dominika stood by us, guiding us with strength and integrity.
While nothing can undo the pain and trauma our family endured, the settlement we reached was the best outcome we could have hoped for. Brett and Dominika exceeded every expectation I had. Brett’s tireless dedication, sharp mind, and creative, outside-the-box thinking, paired with his genuine compassion, made all the difference. I always felt heard, supported, and protected—especially during my most vulnerable moments.
Brett’s meticulous approach, diligence, and passion for his work were evident in everything he did. He went above and beyond, diving deep into the case to uncover every critical detail, and his insights often left me in awe. It’s clear that he and his team truly care about their clients, and that passion shines through in their work and is reflected in how exceptionally good they are at it.
I am forever grateful for everything Brett and Dominika achieved on behalf of my family. Their professionalism, kindness, and expertise made a world of difference during the darkest time in our lives. I highly recommend Brett J. Nomberg and his firm to anyone in need of personal injury representation—you couldn’t be in better hands. Thank you, Brett and Dominika, for your unwavering support and dedication.
-A.A.
Brett J. Nomberg was different. He said, “Let me first get you insurance so you can see the doctors, and later we can handle everything else.” His priority was helping me, even without knowing if he’d benefit financially!!! it is rare in NYC but true about Brett.
Brett’s genuine care and dedication made a profound difference during a challenging time. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with him. Thank you, Mr. Nomberg, for your compassion and support.
Legal Deadlines That Matter in Queens Injury Cases
New York’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years under CPLR §214. However, if the defendant is a municipal agency—like the MTA, NYCHA, or NYC Department of Sanitation—you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. We handle this process swiftly to protect your rights.
What Compensation Can You Pursue?
We pursue full and fair compensation for:
- Economic damages: medical costs, lost income, physical therapy
- Non-economic damages: pain, trauma, and diminished quality of life
- Punitive damages: when negligence is extreme or reckless

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LAWYER
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
In 2007, a Manhattan defense attorney bragged to Brett Nomberg that our client’s case was worth 11 cents. The jury came back with a $4.5 million verdict.
In 2014, a New York defense lawyer tried to conceal evidence from Brett Nomberg. That attorney was sanctioned $10,000 and the insurance company then settled for $3.9 million.
In 2021, a defense attorney tried to conceal a surveillance tape of the accident. Brett Nomberg made a motion for sanctions and the court as punishment held the defendant was entirely responsible for the accident. The case then settled for $1.7 million.
