Let our Attorneys Help You in Hardee County

1. Automobile Accidents

Farah & Farah can represent you when you need an experienced and aggressive Hardee County car accident attorney who understands you were injured through no fault of your own and deserve compensation for your auto accident injuries. We will explore the validity of your personal injury claim and file all of the paperwork that is needed to obtain the compensation for medical expenses and lost wages that resulted from your car crash. Nationwide, car crashes kill 400,000 lives every year and in Hardee County in 2009, there were 295 crashes, with 33 alcohol-related that resulted in 8 fatalities. Alcohol is a factor in more than one-third of crashes and today a driver can be distracted, driving DUI, or under the influence of drugs. If you have been injured by one of these reckless drivers, Farah & Farah will deal with the insurance company in a timely and polite manner unless or until we go to trial, where we will fight vigorously for your rights.

2. Trucking Accident

Many personal injury claims filed in Hardee County are for compensation following a trucking accident or motorcycle accident with injuries. In 2008, the federal government reported that 11,674 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes with large trucks, tractor-trailers and big-rigs. And about one-quarter of all large-truck drivers involved in fatal crashes that year had at least one prior speeding conviction, as did 18 percent of passenger car drivers.

In Florida there were 3,193 crashes with tractor-trailers in the state that resulted in 89 fatalities in 2009.

When a fully loaded tractor-trailer weighing in at over 80,000 pounds, collides with an automobile weighing about 3,000 pounds, 98 percent of the fatalities occur to people in the passenger vehicles. Common injuries include traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries that can paralyze. To make matters worse, after a traumatic injury, many people find a lifetime of care is not covered under their insurance policy.

That is when an experienced Hardee County Florida truck accident attorney can help you pursue a settlement that will cover your lifelong losses.

3. Motorcycle Accident

It may come as no surprise that surveys asking if Florida should adopt a mandatory motorcycle helmet law are overwhelmingly supported among women and those who don't ride motorcycles. That is because those of us who share the road with motorcycles admit we often don't see a biker until it is almost too late. Motorcycle accidents peaked in 2008 at 9,618 in Florida and declined slightly in 2009 to 8,313. In Hardee County, there was one motorcycle fatality in 2009 and 9 motorcycle injuries.

4. Defective Product

A defective product is one that does not work as advertised, even if the user has an unconventional way of using the item. Automobiles and toys are some of the products that we hear about in the news as a subject of recall, but defective products can include everything from lawn mowers to hair dryers that don't work as advertised and instead harm consumers. The product liability injury must harm the consumer and a defective product attorney can usually find a manufacturing defect, incorrect design, or a failure to adequately warn about the risks of the product.

Product liability litigation has resulted in compensation to the injured and has played a vital role in making the public aware of product defects and of getting the dangerous product off the market. Every year about 33 million people are injured by defective consumer products.

A Farah & Farah personal injury attorney in Hardee County can advise you whether your claim is likely or not to receive some compensation from the other side for an accident that was not your fault.
