Our experience and dedication are reflected by the significant results we’ve obtained and our clients’ satisfaction. Here are some testimonials from those we’ve helped:
This was my first experience with a legal firm involving an automobile accident. The Farah and Farah team provided excellent representation, particularly the case manager, Calista. Calista kept me well informed, provided great advice, and managed the settlement to a favorable conclusion. Thank you, Farah and Farah.
– William J.
I don’t know how I could have expected more than I received from the efforts of your case worker. Mr Friedman seemed understanding of my family’s stress and difficulty following this traumatic event that we have never experienced before.
– George H.
Ryan O’Connor and Cheri McDermott, Ryan’s Paralegal, were fantastic with helping me navigate my lawsuit. Anytime that I had a question, I could call and receive the answers that I needed. Ryan advocated for me at every step throughout this litigious journey, as did Cheri, who was extremely sweet and supportive. My case was several years long, but patience was key. Initially, my case went through a couple of other attorneys in the firm before landing with the right team for me. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Ryan O’Connor and Cheri McDermott (Paralegal) at Farah & Farah.

Who Can Be Liable in an Ocala Wrongful Death Case?
Any individual or entity that was negligent in causing a fatal accident can be legally liable for a wrongful death claim. To prove negligence, you must establish the following elements:
- The party owed a duty of care to the victim, whether formally or informally.
- The party violated that duty by acting recklessly.
- The party’s breach of duty directly caused the accident.
- The victim suffered damages as a result of the accident.
Depending on the circumstances, anyone from reckless drivers and negligent companies to government entities that skimped on necessary repairs can be liable for a wrongful death claim. Our Ocala wrongful death team can help you prove the other party’s liability and build a strong case against them to maximize your compensation.
What Damages Are Available in an Ocala Wrongful Death Suit?
In a wrongful death suit, families can recover economic and non-economic damages that their loved one would’ve otherwise been entitled to collect. Economic damages cover quantifiable financial losses, such as the deceased’s medical bills and lost wages, while non-economic damages compensate for the more intangible impacts, such as their pain and suffering.
Families are also entitled to damages arising from their loved one’s death, such as funeral and burial costs, loss of support, loss of inheritance, loss of companionship, and grief.
Our experienced attorneys have secured multiple settlements of more than $1 million in wrongful death cases, including $2.7 million for the family of a man who was sucked into a dam after his fishing boat capsized.
What Evidence Will I Need to Prove My Ocala Wrongful Death Case?
Personal injury suits require various evidence to prove the responsible party’s liability. Depending on the nature of the accident, wrongful death claims can involve different types of key evidence, including:
- Medical records
- Police reports
- Witness statements
- Security camera footage
- Expert testimony
- Photos of the accident scene
- Vehicle repair records
Our skilled Ocala wrongful death lawyers will secure the evidence pertinent to your case when it’s strongest, putting you in the best position to get the justice you deserve.
