Manhattan-based law firm Shlivko Young LLP has reported significant financial recoveries for clients involved in slip-and-fall and sidewalk accidents. The firm’s recent caseload includes settlements reaching $1.5 million for injuries caused by hazardous property conditions.
Attorneys Sam J. Shlivko and Jesse M. Young specialize in navigating complex liability disputes involving uneven pavement, ice, and structural defects. These cases often require identifying the responsible party among multiple stakeholders, including property owners, commercial tenants, and municipal entities.
The firm operates on a contingency-fee basis and provides legal services in English, Spanish, and Russian. Beyond premises liability, they manage cases involving construction site incidents, motor vehicle collisions, and medical malpractice.
Premises liability cases in New York City remain a complex legal arena due to the overlapping responsibilities between private property owners and the city government. As urban infrastructure ages, the frequency of trip-and-fall incidents caused by neglected sidewalk maintenance and structural failures continues to necessitate professional legal intervention to ensure victims receive proper compensation.
The emphasis on documenting evidence—such as hazard photos and medical records—reflects a broader trend in personal injury law where early, meticulous case preparation is vital for securing settlements against insurance providers and commercial entities.
