Types of Personal Injury Cases Our Orange Park Attorneys Handle
Our personal injury lawyers in Orange Park fearlessly take on large corporations and insurance companies, regardless of what type of accident led to your injuries. Since 1979, we’ve handled every conceivable type of case, protecting our clients’ rights, guiding them through the process, and recovering substantial compensation. We’re ready to work just as hard for you.
Car Accidents
There were 2,609 crashes in Clay County in 2024, which killed 23 people and injured 1,670. Traffic volumes here are higher than you would expect for a small suburb like Orange Park, especially on Interstate 295, Route 17, State Road 21, and Kingsley Avenue during rush hour.
Our experienced Florida car accident lawyers in Orange Park can investigate your accident, determine who is responsible, and recover maximum compensation. We often find that distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and disobeying traffic signals cause many of these accidents.
Truck Accidents
Interstate 295 provides the main access to many areas between Orange Park, Jacksonville, and other waterfront locations, resulting in a large volume of trucks in our area. Truck traffic has increased substantially since the pandemic due to the rise in home deliveries. Truck accident injuries are often permanent.
Trucking companies are wealthy corporations that typically fight accident claims. Our experienced Florida truck accident lawyers in Orange Park aren’t intimidated by trucking companies. We have the resources and network to gather the necessary evidence to prove your claim, hold trucking companies accountable, and get you the justice you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are common in Orange Park year-round. Drivers must watch for motorcycles and use reasonable care to avoid collisions. Motorcycle accidents often occur because drivers fail to watch for or give them enough space. In 2024, 72 people were injured in motorcycle accidents in Clay County, and three people died, according to the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles and Highway Safety.
Motorcycles are excluded from the state’s no-fault insurance system, so you must prove the other party was at fault to recover compensation. Police officers and insurance companies often blame motorcyclists unfairly because of negative stereotypes. Our skilled Florida motorcycle accident attorneys in Orange Park are on your side. We can uncover the facts through a thorough investigation, protect your rights, and recover full compensation.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen to anyone, but older adults have a heightened risk of suffering severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Our Florida slip and fall lawyers in Orange Park also see a high incidence of falls in construction workers. Construction workers are more likely to fall from high places, resulting in multiple fractures, spinal cord injuries, head trauma, and other devastating injuries.
Property owners and managers must inspect their premises and take reasonable steps to prevent customers, vendors, and other visitors from falling. You may be entitled to compensation if you or your loved one falls because a property owner knew or should have known about a hazard and breached their duty.
Workers’ Compensation
If you’re injured at work, you’re generally entitled to free medical care and wage replacement benefits through workers’ compensation. However, employers and insurance companies may unfairly deny your benefits, pay less than you deserve, or stop benefits prematurely.
Our knowledgeable Florida workers’ compensation lawyers in Orange Park can act quickly to ensure your employer follows the law and pays fair benefits. We can also determine whether you qualify for additional compensation. You generally can’t sue employers covered by workers’ compensation, but you can sue other negligent parties who contributed to your injuries, such as property owners, equipment manufacturers, and drivers.
Social Security Disability
Many of our personal injury clients experience long-term disabilities that prevent them from working. As a full-service personal injury law firm, we pursue compensation from every available source. Even if you were never one of our clients, our Florida Social Security Disability lawyers in Orange Park can help you with all aspects of your Social Security Disability claim, including the following:
- Determine whether you qualify.
- Obtain medical evidence.
- Complete the initial application.
- Respond to any Social Security Administration’s requests for additional information.
- Represent you at hearings.
- File an appeal if Social Security denies your benefits.
Medical Malpractice
If you’re injured because a health care provider fails to meet the prevailing professional standard of care, you may be entitled to significant compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit. Health care institutions and their insurers often deny responsibility and fight injured patients.
It is crucial to have a proven Florida medical malpractice attorney like those at Farah & Farah working for you. Medical malpractice cases are complex claims that require extensive knowledge of the medical and legal side of these cases. It takes significant financial resources to beat large health care corporations. Our Orange Park personal injury attorneys have access to all of Farah & Farah’s vast resources, enabling them to stand up to large health care corporations and win.
Labor Law
If you’ve experienced unfair treatment at work, your employer may have broken the law. Our knowledgeable Florida labor law attorneys in Orange Park can hold your employer accountable, recover fair compensation, and, if applicable, get you reinstated.
We have over four decades of experience handling every type of labor law claim, such as the following:
- Breach of contract
- Discrimination
- Retaliation
- Whistleblower protection
- Harassment
- OSHA violations
- Unfair denial of unemployment benefits
- Failure to pay minimum wage or overtime
- Misclassification of employees
- Child labor
- Family Medical Leave Act violations
