Auto Accident Survivor & Friends Scholarship

Cohen & Cohen, has been protecting the rights of auto accident victims and their families for over 25 years. Our dedication, skill, tenacity, and compassion, for the people we serve and for what we do, has made us one of the top personal injury law firms in Washington, DC. Even though auto accidents often take away precious things, we know that survivor’s often get a new aspect and appreciation for life. We believe that by funding a survivor or someone who has stood by one, we will be funding someone who plans to try to make the most out of their lives in ways they might not have known about were it not for their experience with an auto-accident.
