Colarusso & Cohen - Pittsburgh, PA

Over 55 Years of Combined Experience Fighting for the Injured in Pennsylvania

Founded in 2007, Colarusso & Cohen, LLC is a premier Pittsburgh law firm exclusively dedicated to representing individuals, not corporations or insurance companies. With a powerful combination of over 55 years of legal experience, attorneys Michael J. Colarusso and Herbert B. Cohen have built a legacy of providing personalized, compassionate, and tenacious legal advocacy for those who have been injured or disabled. We understand the profound physical, emotional, and financial toll an unexpected injury can take on you and your family. Our founding principle is that by limiting the number of cases we accept, we can provide a more thorough and rewarding service, ensuring that every client receives the direct attention of an experienced partner. We are civil trial lawyers committed to leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of the maximum compensation the law allows for our clients.

A Focused Practice for Maximum Client Benefit

At Colarusso & Cohen, we believe that focused experience yields superior results. Unlike firms that handle a wide variety of legal matters, our practice is concentrated on specific areas where we can provide the most impactful representation. This specialization allows us to stay at the forefront of legal developments and insurance company tactics. When you work with us, you work directly with Mike and Herb through every stage of your case. We handle all communications, legal filings, and negotiations, allowing you to focus on your recovery. Our reputation for success is so well-regarded that the majority of our clients are referred to us by former, satisfied clients or other lawyers who trust our expertise. We are the lawyers that other lawyers turn to, and we are ready to put our experience to work for you.

Our Core Areas of Legal Representation

Our firm is dedicated to helping people navigate the complexities of injury and disability claims. We provide aggressive and strategic representation across a range of practice areas, ensuring our clients' rights are protected and their voices are heard. Our primary services include:

• Accident and Injury Lawyers: We are seasoned trial lawyers who help victims of negligence secure the justice and compensation they deserve. Our personal injury practice is comprehensive and includes:
  • Car Accident Lawyers: Representing individuals injured in automobile, truck, and bus accidents, fighting to recover costs for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Medical Malpractice Lawyers: Holding negligent doctors, hospitals, and healthcare providers accountable for injuries caused by substandard care, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and medication mistakes.
  • Defective Product Injury Lawyers: Advocating for consumers injured by products with dangerous design flaws, manufacturing defects, or insufficient warnings.
  • Slip & Fall Injury Lawyers: Handling premises liability cases where property owners fail to maintain a safe environment, leading to injury from slips, trips, and falls.
  • Industrial and Construction Accidents: Pursuing claims for on-the-job injuries that fall outside of the workers' compensation system, often involving third-party negligence.
• Workers' Compensation Lawyers: We passionately advocate for employees who have been injured at work. We help clients appeal denied claims, negotiate lump sum settlements, and ensure they receive the full benefits they are entitled to for their injuries and lost wages.
• Social Security Disability Lawyers: For individuals whose disability prevents them from working, we provide crucial assistance with the Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims process. We help clients navigate the complex application and appeals system to obtain the benefits they need to survive.
