QUEENS BROKEN BONES ATTORNEY
Broken bones or fractures are one of the most common injuries from accidents in New York City (Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Staten Island, and Manhattan) and Nassau County, Long Island. They can be caused by traffic accidents (car accidents, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, etc.), from slip and falls or by being struck by an object. If you have a broken bone, you will need medical treatment and you may lose time from work. An experienced Queens Broken Bones Attorney can help you get your life back on track. If your injury was caused by the recklessness or negligence of another person, you may be entitled to compensation. New York law gives you the right to recover damages for your medical bills, lost earnings and pain and suffering.

Common Types of Fractures Caused by Accidents
- Hairline Fracture — A tiny crack of the bone, which might initially not even be noticed.
- Simple Fracture — A broken bone where the skin is not broken.
- Compound Fracture — A broken bone where the skin is also broken. This is also known as an open fracture. This type of fracture usually requires surgical repair. There is a risk of infection because the skin has been broken.
- Avulsion Fracture — A type of fracture where a piece of bone, a tendon or a ligament has pulled away from the bone. This also may require surgical intervention.
- Greenstick or Buckle Fracture — The bone is bent or buckled, but not entirely broken. This is most common in children.
- Transverse Fracture — This is a serious type of break, where the bone snaps into two pieces.
- Oblique Fracture — A rare type of fracture with a diagonal break.
- Comminuted Fracture — A very serious fracture, where the bone breaks into many pieces or is crushed.
Fractures and Bone Injuries from Car Accidents
High-velocity car accidents can cause broken bones. Pedestrians and bicyclists are particularly likely to sustain broken bones. These are the types of broken bones most often sustained in traffic accidents:
- Neck and Spine Fractures — Sometimes these fractures are minor, but more serious breaks can lead to paralysis.
- Facial and Skull Fractures — These can lead to significant scarring and sometimes even brain damage (TBI.)
- Limb Fractures — Serious limb fractures can cause difficulty with movement and prevent partipication in sports and hobbies.
- Hip and Pelvis Fractures — A broken hip or pelvis likely will mean use of a wheelchair while you recover, and recovery is usually lengthy.
- Rib Fractures — These fractures are particularly painful and do not respond well to treatment.
- Wrist and Ankle Fractures — These injuries take a very long time to heal and can prevent you from engaging in basic daily activities.

EXECUTIVE–WORKER PAY ALIGNMENT ACT
SUMMARY Executive–Worker Pay Alignment Act The Executive–Worker Pay Alignment Act aligns increases in executive compensation with wage growth for workers at large employers. When a company increases total compensation for its highly paid executives, worker wages must increase by the same percentage during the same fiscal year. If executive compensation does not increase, the Act does not apply. The Act does not set wages, mandate bonuses, or cap executive pay outright. It targets a specific driver of wage disparity: raising executive pay while leaving workers out. Executive compensation is treated as a connected system, preventing evasion through re-labeling, new executive hires at higher rates, equity restructuring, or compensation paid through affiliates. PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEWASHINGTON — March 12, 2029 — Legislation introduced in Congress today would require large employers to align increases in [...]
Executive Order – Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office (Speculative)
SUMMARY January 20, 2029 President Orders Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office Today, the President signed an Executive Order directing the identification, disclosure, and recovery of profits derived from the misuse of public office for personal enrichment. The Order affirms that federal officials have always held office as fiduciaries of the public, and that personal profits obtained through licensing, branding, naming rights, or similar arrangements tied to official authority were never lawful. The Order instructs federal agencies to enforce existing ethics, forfeiture, and unjust enrichment laws to recover improperly obtained funds for the public treasury. It clarifies ethical obligations long recognized in law and tradition, and restores the principle that public office may not be used as a commercial enterprise. © 2025 Alyce Wittenstein.

Queens Is the New Brooklyn
Brooklyn used to be where artists went because it was cheap, flexible, and unpoliced. That version of Brooklyn is gone. What’s left is a real-estate brand with a cultural afterimage—galleries designed around sales, neighborhoods shaped by marketing decks, and an art scene that feels increasingly managed. Queens is where the work actually happens now. You can see it across the borough—in Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Astoria, and Long Island City—not because there’s a single “scene,” but because artists here are still allowed to work without being pushed into a look, a market, or a lane. Queens hasn’t flattened itself into a style. It doesn’t need to. That range showed up clearly at the Queens Says No Kings march. The art wasn’t ornamental and it wasn’t outsourced. Banners, signs, and visual systems were made by [...]
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Strenghtens the Movement
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Builds the Movement Resist Flower™ began as an image, not a fundraising plan. A simple visual gesture: a flower that refuses to wilt. A form that looks gentle at first glance, then insists on staying. Over time, it became something more than an artwork. It became a shared symbol—one that people recognized, carried, wore, and returned to. And now, it has become one of the ways we are materially supporting the next march. This matters, because movements don’t run on inspiration alone. They require permits, printing, transportation, materials, accessibility accommodations, food for volunteers, sound systems, legal support, and contingency planning. None of that is glamorous, but all of it is essential. Resist Flower exists at the intersection of those realities: it turns cultural energy into practical capacity. [...]
Art Builds Communities
Art does not arrive fully formed. It is built—collectively, physically, in shared space. Before it appears on a street or in a march, it appears in conversation, in planning sessions, in rooms where people cut, paint, argue, revise, and keep going. This process is not secondary to the work. It is the work. Community is strengthened not only by what art represents, but by how it is made. An art build gathers people who might not otherwise meet. It gives them a common task, a shared visual language, and a reason to stay in the room together long enough for trust to form. The result is more than objects. It is continuity. In preparation for the next No Kings march, a large-scale art build is underway—one that treats visual presence as essential, not decorative. [...]
Art as Power
Art is a form of power that operates through images rather than decree. It shapes perception, organizes memory, and gives structure to experiences that resist easy narration. Long before it persuades, art reorients: it trains attention, alters scale, and determines what is allowed to remain visible. My own work begins from this premise. Images are not neutral, and symbols are never incidental. They accumulate meaning through repetition, circulation, and use—through being carried, held, worn, or encountered unexpectedly. Over time, certain forms insist on returning. A flower becomes a sign of refusal rather than ornament. A future date becomes a horizon rather than a prediction. These are not abstractions; they are working tools. Throughout history, images have done work that laws and speeches cannot. They have carried dissent across borders, encoded refusal under regimes of [...]
Executive Order – Jan 6 (Speculative)
SUMMARY January 20, 2029 President Orders Preservation and Public Access to the Historical Record of the January 6 Attack on American Democracy Today, the President signed an Executive Order directing the preservation, organization, and lawful public accessibility of the historical and judicial record related to the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol. The Order affirms that while presidential pardons resolve criminal liability, they do not erase historical facts, judicial findings, or the public record. The initiative is designed to safeguard democratic memory, ensure transparency, and support civic education—without imposing punishment, stigma, or retaliation against any individual. PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJanuary 20, 2029 President Signs Executive Order to Preserve January 6 Historical Record The President today signed an Executive Order establishing a comprehensive, non-partisan effort to preserve and make accessible the [...]
