Diana L. Martin

Diana L. Martin is Of Counsel at Cohen Milstein, and a member of the firm’s Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death, Consumer Protection, Managed Care Abuse, and Unsafe & Defective Products practice groups. She concentrates her practice on appellate litigation involving complex product liability, consumer class, mass tort and managed care litigation by not only handling appeals for the firm in these areas, but also by providing appellate support at the trial stage. In that role, she drafts and argues complex and case dispositive motions, handles jury instruction charge conferences and assists trial counsel in preserving and protecting the record in the event of an appeal.

Of notable interest is Ms. Martin’s success in achieving justice for injured workers who have been wrongfully denied medical care and treatment by their employer or their employer’s workers’ compensation carrier, resulting in the employee suffering injuries in addition to those suffered in the workplace accident. While many attorneys refuse to litigate such cases given the difficulty of navigating around the legal immunity afforded to defendants by Florida law, Ms. Martin has gotten many of these cases past the motion to dismiss and summary judgment stages, resulting in settlement of the workers’ claims prior to trial.
