Based in Pembroke Pines, the Law Offices of Cohn, Smith & Cohn, P.A. represent people who have been injured in automobile accidents throughout the state of Florida.

We treat automobile accidents like a fact of life -- but if you've been in one, you know it's not something you can just shrug off. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, auto accidents are the leading accidental cause of death in America and a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries. The federal Department of Transportation reports that auto accidents killed more than 41,000 people in 2007 and injured 2.49 million others.

Car accidents can leave drivers and passengers severely injured. In more serious accidents, victims may sustain whiplash, broken bones, dislocated joints, burns, and even paralysis. These are catastrophic, life-changing injuries that often lead to a permanent disability. In addition to the physical and emotional trauma they cause, they can rob their victims of the ability to perform everyday activities they used to enjoy, from working to simply taking a walk. This is traumatic enough when the accident was truly an accident -- but when it was caused by reckless, careless or illegal behavior by another person, you have the right to hold that person responsible for the results.

If you were seriously injured in a car accident, Cohn, Smith & Cohn may be able to win compensation from the parties responsible for your injuries. We have won many automobile accident cases by proving that the other driver operated the vehicle in a reckless or negligent manner, such as by driving while intoxicated or in violation of traffic laws. We have also successfully handled many auto accident lawsuits caused by a defective vehicle or automobile part, such failed brakes or a defective design causing a car to roll over. And we offer free consultations, so there's no risk in speaking to us about your case.

With over 35 years of experience representing individuals who were injured in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, our firm is highly qualified to handle your automobile accident case. Our attorneys can help you recover lost wages and ensure that all of your current and future medical costs are covered.
