Positive Reviews from Our Albany Clients
Our clients have recognized the genuine compassion and work ethic that drives our attorneys, and the results we get for them have often exceeded their expectations. Here is what some of our satisfied clients have said about our representation:
“I hired Farah & Farah after I was injured in an auto accident and was assigned Mr. Thomas McCoy-Urrutia. He has been a godsend! You've never had a more compassionate and responsive attorney. I highly recommend him and the services of Farah & Farah.”
“Farah & Farah really cares about you when it comes to your case. When I gave up and just accepted what my insurance gave me in my accident, they continued to fight for me. I was surprised that they managed to gain more for my claim. I really appreciate them and highly recommend them.”
“Thomas McCoy was wonderful at handling my case. He got the maximum for my wife and myself, kept us updated and posted as everything moved along, and each time he made contact with either of us, it was great news. He was definitely a blessing to both of us, and we are very happy he represented us. Honestly, I doubt anybody could've done better. Thank you for everything, Thomas.”

Commitment to the community is what it truly means to be a client-centric firm.

We support local schools, food banks, disability organizations, legal aid, and more.

Since starting this program in 2020, we’ve given away $200,000 in scholarships. In 2024, we launched our first annual laptop giveaway. Through this program, five graduating Georgia students received laptops valued at up to $1,000.
Types of Personal Injury Cases Our Albany Attorneys Handle
Negligent people can cause serious injuries in almost any circumstance, and we’re dedicated to helping you through it regardless of how you were injured. Since 1979, we’ve helped clients pursue justice and fair compensation in a wide range of practice areas.
Car Accidents
The numerous state highways in Albany often contain heavy traffic traveling at high speeds, increasing the risk of accidents. The Department of Transportation has found rising rates of traffic fatalities in Georgia, primarily due to speeding, drunk driving, and aggressive driving. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that 45 percent of all Georgia automobile accidents involve distracted driving.
Our experienced Albany car accident lawyers are dedicated to aggressively pursuing full compensation from all available sources. We’ll visit the site, download vehicle black box data, interview witnesses, obtain the police report, and more. We’ll negotiate relentlessly for a fair settlement or fight for you in court if the insurance company refuses to settle for fair compensation.
Truck Accidents
Numerous truck routes traverse Albany, including GA 300, GA 32, US 82, and US 19. Truck accident cases are complex because multiple parties are often liable, including trucking companies, cargo loading companies, truck maintenance companies, drivers, and truck manufacturers.
Trucking companies would often rather pay lawyers than compensate people harmed by their careless drivers. Our Albany truck accident lawyers have the skill, experience, and resources to successfully take on trucking companies. We’ve won millions for those injured in truck accidents, including a $3.4 million verdict for a client whose vehicle was rear-ended by a truck.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents cause serious injuries, including road rash, severe burns, broken bones, and head injuries. You may be entitled to significant compensation from the negligent driver, a vehicle manufacturer, a government entity, and other parties who contributed to your accident.
You can count on our knowledgeable Albany motorcycle accident attorneys to identify every responsible party and prove they were at fault. We often see unfair bias against motorcycle riders. Even if you have been told you were at fault, contact us today for a free case review. We’ll conduct an in-depth investigation, prove who is really responsible, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Slip and Fall Accidents
To recover compensation after a fall, you must prove the negligence of the property owner or manager caused your fall. Georgia’s premises liability laws require property owners to remove hazardous conditions or warn invited visitors about their presence.
Our skilled slip and fall lawyers in Albany can identify hazardous conditions that led to your fall and help you hold the property owner responsible. Property owners often complicate slip and fall cases by removing hazards and other evidence after the fall. However, we’ll visit the site, look for video and photo evidence, review safety reports, interview witnesses, and investigate every angle until we uncover the truth.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation provides medical coverage and partial wage replacement to workers injured on the job. Its purpose is to ensure injured workers receive continuity of income and medical care until they can return to work without needing to litigate their claims in court.
Employers don’t like it when employees file workers’ compensation claims because their premiums can increase. They often put up hurdles to prevent workers from receiving benefits. Whether your benefits were denied or stopped too soon, or you received less than you deserve, our Albany workers’ compensation lawyers can ensure you receive your full benefits.
Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability pays tax-free monthly payments to people who cannot perform any type of work because of permanent disabilities. To receive benefits, you must go through a complex application process through the Social Security Administration. Most applications are denied initially.
Having our knowledgeable Albany Social Security Disability lawyers on your side dramatically improves your chances of approval. We have a deep knowledge of the Social Security Administration’s requirements and application process. Whether your disabilities stem from a personal injury claim, a medical condition, or any other cause, we can help you apply for benefits or file an appeal if you’ve already been denied.
Medical Malpractice
When health care providers provide substandard care, patients may suffer serious injuries, including deadly infections, oxygen deprivation, organ damage, birth injuries, and death. Medical malpractice is a complex area of law, requiring deep medical knowledge and access to a network of health care professionals to act as expert witnesses.
Our Georgia medical malpractice attorneys have over 45 years of experience and a proven track record of handling medical malpractice cases. We work with top-rated medical experts, professional witnesses, and lifecare planners to prove liability and the resulting injuries.
Labor Law
State and federal employment laws require employers to provide fair pay and safe, hospitable work environments free of discrimination and harassment. It is also illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for exercising your rights.
Our seasoned labor law attorneys can pursue compensation for any harm you experience from labor law violations by your employer. Don’t let your employer scare you out of reaching out to us if you’re experiencing maltreatment in the workplace. We’ll stand up for your rights, and if your employer retaliates, we’ll stand up for you again.
Available Compensation
Compensation in a personal injury claim may include economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover monetary losses, such as lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage. Non-economic damages compensate for subjective losses, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.
The amount you recover will vary based on your unique circumstances, such as the nature and severity of your injuries, the length of your recovery, the cost of your medical care, the degree of your suffering, changes in your earning capacity, and your age. Below are a few examples of our case results:
- $5 million medical malpractice recovery for a patient who suffered a brain injury.
- $5 million motorcycle accident recovery for a fatal motorcycle accident.
- $3.3 million maritime case recovery for boating accident injuries.
- $2.5 million car accident verdict for a woman with severe neck injuries.
- $2 million commercial truck accident verdict for a man with severe neck, back, and shoulder injuries.
- $1.3 million workers’ compensation recovery for a man who developed RSD on the job.
- $750,000 slip and fall recovery for a client who fell in a puddle of water at a large retail chain.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Albany
Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations generally requires you to file suit within two years of your accident. There are a few exceptions. However, if you miss this deadline, your case will be dismissed, and you will be barred from pursuing compensation for your injuries. Contact our experienced personal injury attorneys in Albany as soon as possible after your accident rather than waiting until the statute of limitations has nearly expired. We’ll need time to gather evidence, obtain your medical records, retain expert witnesses, and build your case. All of this must be completed before filing.
In addition, important evidence, such as video footage and property damage, may only be available briefly after your accident. Early attorney involvement is crucial to get the full benefit of having an experienced personal injury lawyer.
“The benefits of hiring a lawyer are that your settlements will be higher. An attorney is going to be able to pinpoint different issues that may arise during the client process. So, getting an attorney involved allows us to take advantage of all the coverage available. And in the cases of serious injury, that's important.”
