Secure Your Slip & Fall Injury Entitlements With Proven Personal Injury Attorneys
If you were injured in a slip-and-fall accident at someone else’s home or business, you may be wondering who is responsible.
Specifically, who is responsible for paying your medical expenses, reimbursing you for lost earnings, and providing compensation for the non-economic damages that you have suffered.
According to California law, all property owners are responsible for maintaining a reasonably safe environment for their visitors. This means that if they have knowingly or negligently failed to do so, they could be held accountable for injuries suffered on their premises.
With legal guidance from the personal injury attorneys at Cohn & Swartzon, you can successfully pursue compensation from the party responsible for your accident.

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.”
