NYC Personal Injury Firm Shlivko Young Recovers Millions in Sidewalk Cases

Manhattan personal injury law firm Shlivko Young LLP has recovered millions of dollars for New Yorkers injured in defective sidewalk, trip-and-fall, slip-and-fall, and other premises liability accidents. Attorneys Sam J. Shlivko and Jesse M. Young have secured published recoveries including $1.5 million and $1 million in sidewalk-related cases, as well as additional premises results of $750,000, $400,000, $300,000, $275,000, and $270,000. These results underscore the firm's ability to handle complex premises liability claims where responsibility may be shared among property owners, commercial tenants, contractors, or the City.

Sidewalk and premises accidents often stem from cracked or uneven pavement, raised sidewalk slabs, missing or defective covers, ice, and other hazardous conditions. Determining liability can be complicated, so Shlivko Young LLP investigates the circumstances surrounding a fall, including the condition of the property, prior complaints, notice of the hazard, and the party responsible for maintenance and repairs. The firm encourages injured pedestrians to document the scene and seek medical attention promptly while preserving evidence that may be relevant to a potential claim. Located at 30 Wall Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10005, the firm represents clients throughout New York City and surrounding areas in construction accidents involving New York Labor Law, motor vehicle collisions, medical malpractice, products liability, and other serious personal injury cases.

Sam J. Shlivko has more than a decade of experience practicing personal injury law in New York, while Jesse M. Young has more than 16 years of experience representing injured clients in construction, motor vehicle, and premises liability matters, including cases through discovery, depositions, motions, appeals, and trial. The firm represents clients on a contingency-fee basis, meaning clients generally do not pay attorney fees unless the firm obtains a recovery, and serves clients in English, Spanish, and Russian. For individuals injured in a sidewalk or premises accident, the firm recommends taking photographs of the hazardous condition and surrounding area, seeking appropriate medical attention, preserving clothing and footwear involved in the accident, and consulting with an attorney before providing a recorded statement to an insurance company.
