Frequently Asked Questions
For a personal injury claim to proceed, attorneys need to be able to prove that one or more individuals breached their duty of care in a way that directly led to harm or damages. This breach of duty, or negligence, is typically the basis of a personal injury claim.
One common example of negligence is when a driver fails to follow the rules of the road. When drivers violate the law and cause an accident, they have breached their duty of care to follow the rules of the road responsibly.

There’s no way to identify a dollar amount at the beginning of a personal injury case because your attorney will have to collect information and data to determine an appropriate settlement value. Common components considered in a personal injury claim include injuries, medical treatment, potential future medical bills, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

Cohn & Swartzon takes personal injury cases on a contingency basis, which means that you don’t pay for legal services until and unless you receive a settlement. We also offer free assessments to discuss the possible outcomes of legal action for your situation.

You’ll need evidence and documentation of damages to make a credible claim that leads to a credible settlement. But the most important thing you can do is partner with an experienced personal injury attorney. The insurance companies and their legal teams will do their best to minimize what you’ll receive, and you’ll need counsel on your side to protect your interests and pursue the compensation you’re entitled to.

I received a very fast and fair settlement.
“It was such a pleasure to be represented by Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. recently. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of honest, knowledgeable, and hard fighting attorneys. After a car accident which involved numerous injuries, I couldn’t handle the stress of dealing with the insurance companies. They completely took over for me. They negotiated with the insurance companies and as a result of their determination, I received a very fast and fair settlement. All during this process, they kept me updated on all the proceedings, always returned my phone calls promptly and answered any questions I had. The entire staff at Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. were always courteous and helpful. Thank you ever so much!”

Cohn & Swartzon fought hard for me
“When I first met with Cohn & Swartzon, they explained to me that I had a difficult case, but because of my severe injuries, they were willing to help. Initially, the insurance did not offer much, but after Cohn & Swartzon fought hard for me in court, I received over a 6 figure settlement and also had my surgery paid for.”
– Deborah V.
