Injuries can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. When they are caused by other people and when we suffer notable damages, we or our loved ones are entitled to compensation. Some injuries, however, bother us more than others; when, for example, we entrust vulnerable loved ones to a nursing home, only to have them suffer because of negligence or abuse. We hear about others being hurt, and we can’t help but wonder whether the staff caring for our mothers and fathers is doing enough to prevent and treat infection. We want to know if it is effectively monitoring their well-being – or ignoring and neglecting them. We have such concerns whenever we entrust our parents, our children or ourselves to the care of others – for surgery or in child birth, for example. If we discover that the caregivers don’t care, we feel betrayed. We are also upset, though it might be carelessness rather than betrayal, whenever we are the victims of someone else’s carelessness: of traffic accidents, dog bites, accidents on a construction site or elsewhere; we want things to be the way they were before the injury
Mission Statement
The Kosner Firm takes care of people who have been harmed by the misguided actions of others. When caregivers don't care; when severe accidents turn lives upside down, our goal is to make injured individuals and families whole. While the process will end with a cash settlement, it starts with helping our clients get past the initial shock and into the healing process with such key areas of their lives as jobs and credit ratings protected.
The Kosner Philosophy
Practicing law is more than filing suits, negotiating and appearing in court. These are only tools.
At its heart, practicing law is about helping people. That is what Michael Kosner believes, and this is why he became a plaintiff's attorney, specializing in personal injury.
