Founded 2014 — Alla Kleban, Esq. practicing since 2009
A car accident in New York sets off an overwhelming chain — emergency care, insurance calls, missed work, mounting bills. If another driver, company, or government agency caused your crash, Kleban Law Group once retained, will handle all the stress while you recover and get you you deserve. We represent car accident victims throughout the New York City Metropolitan Area, Nassau and Suffolk County, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Long Island. We handle the insurance companies, the paperwork, and the legal strategy — so you can focus on getting better.
Types of Motor Vehicle Cases We Handle
Car Accidents
Rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, head-on impacts, sideswipes, and multi-vehicle pile-ups. Whether fault is clear or disputed, we build cases on evidence — police reports, witness statements, accident reconstruction, and surveillance footage.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Collisions involving commercial trucks, tractor-trailers, and delivery vehicles often produce severe injuries. These cases involve federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and time-sensitive evidence like black-box data and driver logs.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are disproportionately vulnerable in New York traffic. We understand the specific dynamics of motorcycle crashes and work to counter the bias motorcyclists can face in insurance negotiations.
Uber, Lyft & Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents involve multiple layers of insurance coverage that depend on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash. Navigating these coverage questions requires a lawyer who knows how rideshare insurance works.
Pedestrian Accidents
If you were struck in a crosswalk or at an intersection, you have rights. Pedestrian knockdown cases often involve serious injuries and complex liability — including whether the driver, municipality, or both bear responsibility.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists are entitled to New York's roads safely. When a car door opens into your path or a truck forces you off the road, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries, bike damage, and lost wages.
New York No-Fault Insurance Explained
New York is a no-fault state. Your own auto insurance pays for medical bills and a portion of lost wages — up to $50,000 — regardless of who caused the accident. But no-fault does not cover pain and suffering. To sue for non-economic damages, you must meet New York's 'serious injury' threshold: fractures, significant disfigurement, permanent limitation, and similar conditions.
Important: You have only 30 days from the accident to file your no-fault claim with your insurer. Missing this deadline can complicate your recovery. Call us as soon as possible.

What Your Case May Be Worth
Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, lost wages (past and future), pain and suffering, the strength of the liability evidence, and available insurance limits. At your free consultation, we'll tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim and what it would take to build it.
Why Trucking Cases Are Different
Commercial trucking is governed by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Drivers must keep detailed logs, vehicles must meet strict maintenance standards, and loading must follow specific protocols. When these rules are violated, it can be direct evidence of negligence. We investigate black-box data, driver qualification files, and inspection records. Trucking companies move fast to gather this evidence — you need a lawyer who moves faster.
