Let Our Attorneys Help Residents of Lake County
1. Auto Accident
At Farah & Farah, we hear stories like this one all of the time. In one case our client was asleep in the right front passenger seat of a pickup truck. The driver of the truck, owned by a large corporation, had been drinking and lost control of his vehicle, driving into the median where the truck rolled, ejecting our client who died at the scene. The truck driver also died.
Our client was the father to four young children, who were deprived of a father's love and support. Negotiations by Farah & Farah attorneys were able to secure a seven-figure sum for the children's future education. Though money can never replace a loving father, at least the children are assured of a secure financial future.
2. Workers' Compensation
Farah & Farah represents workers who are injured while in the workplace or on-the-job. Just because your employer has an obligation to keep you safe on the job doesn't mean he always lives up to that responsibility. If you are injured on-the-job you can expect to receive a bi-weekly benefit check totaling two-thirds of your weekly wage on average. Delays can occur if your employer does not communicate adequately with the insurance company. Oftentimes, the injured worker is left out in the cold, at a time when he may not be up to the challenge of fighting for what is rightfully his. Farah & Farah reminds you that we all pay into the workers' compensation system so that injured workers can be helped at a time they need it the most. Let Farah & Farah's Lake County workers' compensation attorneys advocate for you so that you receive all of the compensation you deserve.
3. Trucking Accidents
The law firm of Farah & Farah understands the rules of the road regarding the trucking industry. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) were revised in March of 2010, with the intention of allowing drivers more rest. The first thing Farah & Farah attorneys look at in a catastrophic trucking accident is whether the driver violated the Hours-of- Service rules that are designed to prevent trucker fatigue. In launching an investigation into the cause of an accident involving a big-rig, our Lake County truck accident attorneys will also uncover whether the driver may have been suffering from the medical condition known as sleep apnea. We obtain all versions of the log books that tell the story of how many miles were covered on a given days and how well and frequently the tractor-trailer was maintained.
An experienced truck accident law firm, Farah & Farah has investigated many catastrophic truck accidents and we find that negligence and fatigue are generally at least a contributing cause of an accident. Call Farah & Farah as soon as possible to allow us to get started on your investigation so that evidence can be preserved.
4. Motorcycle Accidents
Unfortunately for the motorcyclist, without the shell that an automobile offers, bikers are at an increased risk for head and spinal cord injuries, most of which are very difficult to recover from. These injuries are usually devastating and affect the motorcyclist's ability to return to his job and return to the life he knew. Both head and spinal cord injuries can lead to long-term rehabilitative care and depression about the long-term prospects for recovery. Farah & Farah Lake County Florida motorcycle accident attorneys will be there for you to help you obtain compensation for your damages. We are always available for a complimentary consultation on your case. Just call us at 800-533-3555 so we can get started giving you the best prospects for your future.
