I have been going to Ms. Schlesinger for legal matters for nearly two decades. She is always knowledgeable, fair and treats everyone with respect. She is also the rare attorney that listens to her clients, cares about them and is result oriented. I recommend her highly.

I can not begin to emphasize how glad I am that I chose this law firm. Marni has taken such good care of me. During the height of the Pandemic she called me several times to check up on me and my family. She has kept me in the loop about my case all along. My settlement has exceeded far more than I would have ever anticipated. Marni thank you so much for all that you do.

When NYC sanitation workers are injured, they are not eligible for workers’ compensation benefits like people in most other occupations. Instead, an injured worker must file a notice of claim with the city and/or take legal action against another party such as a negligent homeowner. At Apicella & Schlesinger, we have helped many workers file well-prepared claims and lawsuits to recover fair compensation.

With approximately 6,000 employees and 5,000 garbage collection trucks, street sweepers and other vehicles in operation, the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is a constant presence throughout the five boroughs. The work is hazardous. Accidents are bound to happen and we know what to do for those who suffer in the aftermath.

SANITATION ATTORNEYS – WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

First, what have we done for sanitation workers (DSNY) for over three decades?

Your continued right to sue the City of New York for their negligence exists because WE fought the City when they tried to take away your right to sue them, and we at Apicella & Schlesinger won!

It was a bruising fight all the way to the Court of Appeals in Albany, New York. When the smoke cleared, you the NYC sanitation worker could still sue the City. You won, they lost, and that is the way we want to keep it.

We have fought and won cases where sanitation workers have been injured on broken sidewalks, raised sidewalks, broken streets, holes in garage floors and parking lots, icy garage parking lots, broken windows, defective Dolphin Dens, defective or broken sanitation trucks, FEL’s (front end loaders), cutdowns and box trucks. You name it and for over 40 years we have seen it.

When tailgates popped, we won. When garage steps were broken, we won. When garage lights were not working, we won. When DSNY truck steps were damaged or broken we won. When one sanitation worker ran over another sanitation worker, we won. Steam Jennys causing burns, we won. If you want to win, call us. We have been there for you yesterday and we will be there for you tomorrow.
