New York Motor Vehicle Accident Advocacy

Securing the financial recovery you deserve following a motor vehicle accident is rarely a straightforward process. It is vital to remember that insurance adjusters, despite their helpful demeanor, are ultimately looking out for their company’s bottom line. Their priority is to lower your payout or find grounds to dismiss your claim.

At Orak Law Group, we level the playing field. By operating as a boutique firm, we intentionally limit our caseload so that every client receives the rigorous attention and strategic planning their case demands. With over three decades of legal expertise, we guide you through every stage of the process—from investigating the scene and gathering evidence to presenting a compelling case at trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Don’t leave your recovery to chance; let us prove liability and fight for your maximum compensation.

Our Practice Areas

  • Roadway Defect Claims

    Not every accident is caused by another driver; sometimes, the road itself is the hazard. If your crash was caused by poorly maintained surfaces, deep potholes, or design flaws, you may have a claim against the city or state. We have the experience required to navigate the strict requirements of suing government agencies.

  • Pedestrian Accidents

    In a collision between a vehicle and a person on foot, the pedestrian is completely unprotected. These accidents often result in life-altering injuries. We hold negligent drivers accountable for failing to yield, distracted driving, or disregarding traffic signals.

  • Passenger Rights

    If you were a passenger injured in a motor vehicle accident, you are typically entitled to “No-Fault” benefits. However, to ensure your long-term needs are met, it is often necessary to file claims against the insurance policies of all drivers involved. We help you explore every available avenue for recovery.

  • Driver Liability

    You can be the most careful driver in New York and still be victimized by someone else’s recklessness. Our firm conducts thorough investigations to uncover the evidence, such as traffic footage or witness statements, needed to prove the other motorist was at fault.

  • Bicycle Accidents

    Cyclists are often the most vulnerable and most cautious people on the road, yet they frequently fall victim to drivers who fail to share the lane. If you were struck while cycling, we fight to ensure the driver’s negligence is recognized and your medical costs are covered.

Understanding New York No-Fault Laws

In New York, registered vehicle owners must carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP). This “No-Fault” insurance is designed to cover up to $50,000 of your medical bills and lost wages immediately, regardless of who caused the accident. We help you navigate these initial benefits while building your case for additional damages.
