A Compassionate Team That Fights for Clients
We have over 46 years of experience helping families hold negligent parties accountable. Eddie Farah founded our law firm in 1979 to offer the community a different type of firm where attorneys put clients’ needs first and collaborate rather than compete. By working together, our attorneys combine strengths, experience, and resources so that you get a strong team without being limited to one attorney’s abilities.
Eddie Farah’s mission to offer a collaborative approach has paid off significantly for clients. We have recovered over $2 billion in compensation for injured accident victims and grieving families. Our firm has expanded from a single small law office in Jacksonville, Florida, to one of the largest personal injury law firms in Georgia and Florida. Our Macon clients get the personalized, compassionate support a small, local office can offer and the full resources of the entire Farah & Farah firm.
A Team Like No Other
Our compassionate Macon wrongful death attorneys bring multiple unique skill sets and strengths to our firm. Dalya Farah started her career as a medical malpractice attorney and has expanded to handle truck accident and other personal injury cases. Her deep research abilities and attention to detail help our team uncover valuable evidence during pre-suit investigations.
Jessica May worked as a legal assistant and then as an intake specialist before becoming an attorney, so she understands the entire client journey. She will put you at ease and help you feel supported throughout the legal process.
Alex Fadoul came to Macon during early childhood, and his father is a business owner in the community. His local roots mean he knows all the key players in Macon wrongful death claims, including judges, lawyers, insurance companies, and courthouse clerks. He also has extensive trial experience. While many cases never make it that far, having an attorney on your team with a strong trial record sends a message to insurance companies that we don’t have to settle for less than you deserve.
You Shouldn’t Have To Shoulder Legal Details While You’re Grieving, So We Handle Them All

Meanwhile, the responsible parties can return home to their loved ones and move on with their lives as if nothing had happened. Our passionate Macon personal injury lawyers are dedicated to holding careless parties accountable and ensuring they never forget what they cost you and your family, just as you will never forget.

$2+ BILLION IN RESULTS
Georgia’s Wrongful Death Laws Recognize the Value of a Human Life
To recover compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit, your case must meet the statutory definition of a wrongful death, and you must have legal standing to file a claim.
- What is a wrongful death in Georgia? Georgia Code Section 51-4-1 defines a wrongful death as a death that stems from wrongdoing, including criminal misconduct, negligence, or defective products.
- What do you have to prove in a wrongful death lawsuit? You must prove that the defendant had a duty to exercise reasonable care, failed in that duty, and caused or contributed to your loved one’s death.
- Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Georgia? The surviving spouse has the primary right to file an action and receive compensation. If there is no spouse, the children may file. Grandchildren may file if the children are deceased. If there is no spouse or descendant, the parents may file. If there are no eligible survivors, the administrator or executor of the estate may file and hold the award for the next of kin.
Don’t dismiss the possibility that you have a wrongful death case. We can determine whether your case qualifies and who can file the claim.
A Wrongful Death Settlement Can Provide Financial Security for Years to Come
Georgia law allows survivors to recover the “full value of the life ” of someone who dies because of negligence or other wrongful conduct. While a human life is invaluable and cannot be reduced to a dollar amount, a wrongful death lawsuit allows you to recover economic and non-economic damages to provide some form of compensation and justice.
Economic damages cover the financial costs of the death, while non-economic damages compensate for the emotional costs. The damages you may recover include the following:
- Loss of your loved one’s probable lifetime earnings had they survived
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of estate value
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of parental guidance
- Loss of love and affection
- Loss of comfort
- Mental grief and suffering
How Much Can You Recover in a Macon Wrongful Death Claim?
Georgia places no limits on economic or non-economic damages in wrongful death claims. The amount you recover will be based on the unique facts of your case, including your relationship to the deceased, their earnings history, their financial contributions to the family, the strength of the case, and the skill of your attorney.
When you choose us, you benefit from our 46+ years of experience and our collaborative approach. Therefore, you will have the most skilled representation available.

How We Got Justice for a Family After the Tragic Loss of a Husband and Father
Our attorneys accepted the case of a family that lost a husband and father in a tragic accident that never should have occurred. A husband and wife went boating in a Georgia public park, and their boat became caught in undercurrents. The husband courageously pushed his wife to safety, but the spillway opened and pulled his boat in before he could be saved, despite multiple witnesses calling 911. He drowned after becoming pinned between the boat and the spill gates.
After spending significant time with the grieving widow and their four daughters, we learned that this family lost an incredible husband and father, and the emotion was raw. The case was complicated, but our attorneys were determined to get justice. The defense team accused the victim of drinking. When we disproved this, they claimed he was improperly operating the boat because the danger was obvious due to the noise. We used a 911 call to recreate the scene and disprove this claim.
After conducting 35 depositions, the management company finally conceded that the conditions were dangerous. We proved that the defendants were negligent in failing to post warning signs and recovered $2.7 million for this deserving family.
Don’t Let Insurance Companies and Hospitals Give You a Hard Time After Losing Your Loved One
Insurance companies and hospitals often abandon any sense of humanity and put families through one bureaucratic nightmare after another. Hospitals may refuse to release the body or make it difficult to obtain medical records and autopsy results. All you want is to lay your loved one to rest, but the hospital may treat you like you’re doing something wrong just for asking. Meanwhile, insurance companies refuse to accept responsibility and may resort to the following tactics to get you to give up:
- Lowball settlement offers: Early settlement offers are almost always lower than the true damages.
- Ghosting and delays: The insurance company may try to run out the clock on the statute of limitations to evade liability.
- Victim blaming: This is a common tactic to avoid liability, but it doesn’t work in the face of evidence.
We know how insurance companies and large corporations work. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with big corporations for over four decades, and many of our attorneys represented insurance companies early in their careers. We’ll handle the insurance company and hospital, gather the evidence you need to prove your claim, and help your loved one rest in peace.
“When you understand and you believe in the client, that gives you all the power you need to take on any insurance company. And you have to be able to care because if you don't care, you can't help.”

Justice Won’t Wait for Long
The Georgia statute of limitations for wrongful death limits your time to file a lawsuit to just two years from the death. However, this doesn’t mean you should wait to contact an attorney. They will need access to important evidence that may only be available briefly, such as forensic data, video recordings, photographs, and eyewitness reports. Some of this evidence may fade or disappear if you wait too long. Don’t miss your chance for justice. Contact us today for a free consultation.
