Auto & Car accidents
In an instant, a motor vehicle collision can dramatically change your life. Serious car accidents can result in lasting, sometimes permanent injury, disability, and death. Even somewhat minor crashes can create devastating financial pressures, such as an inability to earn income or staggering bills for medical treatment and hospitalization. At the same time, insurance companies often prey on car accident victims – doing everything in their power to avoid paying claims at a time when policyholders need them most.

Wrongful Death
A wrongful death — one that was caused by someone else’s negligence or misconduct — is especially hard for the families who must carry on. Losing a loved one results in more than just the emotional impact; families must also contend with loss of income, loss of support, and costs related to the death.
If you are considering legal action related to wrongful death, the experienced New York wrongful death attorneys at Shimonov Law Group can help you navigate the legal system and get the best results during a difficult time. We also handle cases of wrongful death in New York City and across the Tri-State area.
Slip and Falls
Slip and fall incidents are a primary cause of injury and death in the United States, and they frequently occur in public settings such as supermarkets and parking lots. Property owners must keep their premises secure and can be held accountable for injuries that occur on their property. Slip and fall incidents can result in catastrophic injuries such as fractured bones, concussions, and spinal cord injuries.
If you slip/trip and fall and are injured because of a condition on property, you will have to show the owner of the property was negligent in dealing with the condition—that is, that the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition on the property and failed to clean it (or if it was cleaned, it was cleaned in a way that did not fix it or made the condition worse), fix it, rope it off, or warn of the condition.
EXAMPLES:
In each of the following, if the property owner had notice of the condition and failed to do anything about it (or took action but did so in a way that failed to adequately address the condition), the injured person may be able to recover for slip/trip and fall.
Note that in any of the listed cases, if the property owner does not have notice of a dangerous condition or could not have known about the condition, it can be difficult to prove negligence in failing to address the condition. And in a snow and ice situation, if snow is falling or has just finished falling when a person slips and falls, it is very difficult to claim negligence.
