Because an Accident Shouldn’t Get in the Way of Your Education

Pursuing a college education is a costly endeavor for most students, especially those who are coping with the financial fallout from a serious accident.

Rosen & Ohr: Committed to Standing Strong for Accident Victims

With more than 50 years of experience, the dedicated personal injury attorneys at Rosen & Ohr understand how much a debilitating injury can change a person’s life. The effects go beyond financial setbacks and into physical, emotional, and psychological suffering.

Our caring legal team is focused on demanding the compensation needed to get a person’s life back on track after:

The burdens that weigh on a family after a serious accident can last for years to come. If the injured person is a parent who is no longer able to work, the family’s financial stability can suffer. If the victim is a child, general and academic development can suffer. In the worst-case scenarios, where a family loses a loved one is a tragedy that could have been prevented, the suffering is simply immeasurable.

Rosen & Ohr aims to give back to accident victims in any way we can. Oftentimes, our service comes in the form of strong advocacy in the courtroom or at the negotiation table. However, we also strive to give back to the community through volunteer work and efforts such as this scholarship program.

At the end of the day, our focus is on helping people.
And we measure our success by the lives we have made better.
