Edward D. Friedman

I have been representing injured people and their families for over thirty years. In that time, I have counseled many thousands of people injured in car accidents, falls, construction accidents and by medical malpractice and defective and dangerous consumer products. In every single interaction with an injured person or their loved one, I remain mindful that the accident was a life changing event. I try to understand how the accident affected that person in ways unique to their circumstances. I focus on the fact that the survivors of an injury have placed their confidence and trust in me, to help make the best of a very difficult or even terrible situation. I know it is my duty, on behalf of our client(s), to make sure that the careless and reckless person who caused the injury is made to pay for the pain, suffering and other harm they have caused. I am proud of Friedman & Simon’s record of winning over one hundred million dollars for injured people and I welcome the opportunity to help you with your accident injury concerns.
