Let our Attorneys Help You in Manatee County
1. Auto Accidents
If you are in an auto accident and damage only your car, consider yourself lucky. Auto accident victims can spend years recovering from serious bodily injury sustained not only from the impact of another vehicle, but from the secondary crash that occurs inside the motor vehicle when the occupant hits the inside of the car or the roof. While car manufacturers are making vehicles safer all the time, auto accidents are still the leading cause of death among young adults and teenagers. Farah & Farah will advocate for you to recover the cost of property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and rehabilitative care. Our Manatee County car accident attorneys are committed to offering you the assistance you need to recover not only financially, but to put you and your family on the path to recovery.
2. Medical Malpractice
Some people do not believe in medical malpractice until they are a victim of it. It’s been estimated that at least 98,000 people die every year from preventable medical errors that not only cost lives but the nation about $29 billion. An Institute of Medicine report found medical errors to be the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. killing more people every year than cars or guns.
But having an open-and-shut medical malpractice case is unlikely as hospitals and their insurers have deep pockets to cover themselves from medical malpractice charges. The Manatee County medical malpractice attorneys at Farah & Farah know what it takes to come face-to-face with the heavy hitters and we are prepared to go the distance, covering the costs in your case if we believe you have suffered at the hands of medical malpractice. Contact us at 800-533-3555 or contact the Manatee County attorneys on our Web site at www.farahandfarah.com so we can begin the work needed to fight on your behalf.
3. Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is caused when a responsible party is negligent or careless toward another. Almost one in three civil trials involve wrongful death and knowing an accident could have been avoided adds stress to the grief one feels at the death of a loved one. A wrongful death claim may have resulted from medical malpractice, an automobile, large truck, or motorcycle accident, nursing home abuse, or product liability. To speak to the Manatee County wrongful death attorneys at Farah & Farah, call us at 1-800-533-3555 for a complimentary consultation on your wrongful death case.
4. Nursing Home
According to federal reports, more than one-quarter of nursing homes have deficiencies that have caused harm to residents or put them at risk of death or serious injury. With a growing population of seniors age 65 and older, elder abuse is a growing concern. Many of our seniors will have to seek the shelter of some form of nursing home at some time in their life, and while most facilities provide loving care, we know many of the nation’s 16,000 nursing facilities fall short.
If you or a loved one has fallen victim to nursing home abuse, time is of the essence. Call the experienced Manatee County nursing home abuse attorneys at Farah & Farah so we can begin an investigation and intervene before things get worse. Farah & Farah’s nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys are experienced at conducting an immediate investigation and asking the right questions to provide you with valuable answers about your loved one. Call 1-800-533-3555 if you suspect nursing home abuse. The worst thing you can do is to do nothing.
