Cohen & Frey P.C.

Cohen & Frey offers a national litigation and consulting practice with significant experience in transportation related litigation and contracting. Cohen & Frey has a robust maritime property damage recovery practice and specific experience developing evidence to support elimination of maritime limitations of liability, based upon the vessel owner’s “knowledge and privity”. In other words, we have experience finding the vessel owner itself responsible for the actions or inactions of the pilot, captain or crew in maintaining or navigating a vessel – specifically in the context of damage to bridges. Further, we have specific experience developing and pursuing bad faith claims against insurers related to damage to infrastructure including bridges. We have decades of experience recovering large loss damages on behalf of our clients. We identify the most effective way to present claims for maximum recovery. We are adept at building the liability case without losing focus on building the damages case. And we build our cases to go the distance at trial. We handle recovery matters in a wide variety of areas, including: • Fire and Explosion Incidents • Construction Defects & Worksite Safety • Water Main Breaks • Retention Basin Failures • Landslides • Flooding • Third Party Recovery for Liabilities Imposed Upon Common Carriers • Inland Marine Incidents Involve Barge/Vessel Collisions and Allisions and Damage to Bridges, Protection Cells, and Piers • Maritime Valuation of Vessels and Tow • Derailments • Crossing Accidents • Hydrodynamics and Hydrology – Scour Evaluation and Hydraulic Modeling • Environmental Contamination • Mechanical Damages • Damage to Infrastructure • Freight Loading and Securement (AAR Rules Compliance) • Environmental Emergency Response and Remediation • Other Complex Negligence and Product Liability
