Medical malpractice cases can be particularly detailed and complicated, and require the service of a knowledgeable attorney.

Premises Liability
Premises injury claims occur when a property owner does not fulfill certain obligations regarding safety and maintenance and another person suffers injury or property damage as a result. For example, if a person slips on a patch of ice on the steps in front of a house, the owner may be liable because he or she did not lay down salt. If you or someone you know has suffered personal injury due to a property owner’s negligence, we encourage you to contact Adam Leighton, Lawyer at Cohen & Cohen, PC.
