There are many law firms out there that can help people obtain settlements for relatively minor car accident injuries. However, there are very few attorneys with the experience and resources to assist clients who have suffered life-changing injuries. At Patrick Owen Law, PLLC, our Orange County, NY car accident lawyers are dedicated to representing people who have been catastrophically injured and the families of those who have been killed due to the negligence of others.
Some of the most common types of accidents are those involving trucks and motorcycles, as well as poor road design, maintenance, and drainage. Large trucks such as 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles are heavier, more widely used, and harder to maneuver than passenger cars. Trucking companies must take special care to avoid auto accidents and will be held accountable when they do not. Accidents involving motorcycles can be very brutal as motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to injury in these types of collisions. All too often, when the drivers of other motor vehicles do not pay enough attention to see what bikers around them are doing, they end up causing serious accidents.
Road design, poor maintenance, and bad drainage systems are also leading causes of the most common automobile accidents. New York State and municipalities have a responsibility to keep highways and roads safe. Our firm is prepared to find out if the negligence of the state or a municipality in building and maintaining a road was the cause of your auto accident, even if only in part, to get fair compensation.
Under New York State’s No-Fault Insurance Law, to pursue a personal injury claim against another driver in a motor vehicle case, your lawyer will need to prove that your injuries meet the state's criteria for "serious" injuries. This law was designed to ensure that regardless of fault, those involved in an accident would get the coverage they are owed. Although this process was meant to be responsive and accessible to the injured party, insurance companies have made the process very arduous. Our firm is knowledgeable of New York State’s No-Fault Insurance Law. We are skilled and understand how to navigate the often-problematic terrain involving insurance companies in order to protect your coverage and benefits.
Every motor vehicle or car accident case is unique. Our attorneys are prepared to devote the time and resources needed to establish the facts of each case we accept, something that is reflected in our track record of results. If you retain us to represent you in your auto accident claim, you can be confident that an experienced attorney will handle your case. Every lawyer at our firm has been practicing law in New York for at least 20 years. Our firm handles all auto accident cases on a contingency basis, which means you will not owe us any fees or expenses unless we help you get compensation for your injuries or for the loss of a loved one.
