Our Attorneys’ Experience Makes All the Difference for Our Clients
Our Orlando car accident lawyers come from diverse backgrounds, allowing them to bring unique perspectives and strengths to the table when fighting for you.
Some of our attorneys worked for the other side before coming to Farah & Farah. Gregory Ream was a senior trial attorney for Allstate, and Christopher Curry defended doctors and hospitals in medical malpractice claims. Today, their inside knowledge of how insurance companies work against accident victims gives our clients the upper hand.
John Watson is a former prosecutor whose experience has made him comfortable in the courtroom. Before his legal career, he worked as a motorcycle salesman. This experience has given him an uncanny ability to connect with a jury and read their facial cues. He has litigated over 500 personal injury cases.
Many of our Orlando accident attorneys started their careers in personal injury law and collectively gained decades of experience handling car accident claims. They know insurance companies’ tactics, the local defense attorneys, and the Orlando court system. Call us today at (407) 329-5054 to schedule a free consultation.
“When I meet the client, and I see the client’s family, it's not just a number. It's not just a case. It's not just a name—it's a person, a family, a mother, a son, a daughter. It's someone's family member. It's someone who came to see us on one of the worst days of their life. I care about every detail of the case, and the person, and the family, and what they're going through. I try to help with everything. We go above and beyond; we really do.

Farah & Farah was able to get me the MAXIMUM possible settlement offer, and I am forever thankful!! So glad I trusted Farah & Farah and Denisse!”
“I would recommend Farah & Farah to anyone. Best law office I’ve ever been involved with. My attorney, Christopher Baker, handled an auto injury for me. He explained everything in detail to me. He and Alexa Compean-Garcia always kept me updated on my case and made sure I didn’t have any questions or issues. They are the most respectful and professional people I have crossed paths with, and, not to mention, they helped me to receive a positive outcome in my case. I will most definitely use them again if needed.”
“Raven Diogiovanni took over my family’s case almost a year after our car accident… She was amazing! She understood our family concerns and expedited the whole process for us. [She] kept in contact constantly, making sure everyone in our family was okay and answering any questions we had. She informed us of the whole process and notified us of changes or updates via all communication (phone, email, text).”
Who Could Be Liable for My Orlando Car Accident?
While careless drivers cause most accidents, our dedicated car accident lawyers in Orlando often identify unseen factors contributing to accidents.
Such factors mean the driver may not be the only party liable for your accident. Identifying additional parties is important because many non-driver parties carry larger insurance policies, which increases the compensation you can recover.
Among the most common responsible third parties in car accidents are manufacturers of defective automotive parts, especially brakes, airbags, and tires. Product manufacturers could be liable even if they weren’t careless or negligent. It is only necessary to prove one of the following:
- The part was defective.
- The part had a dangerous design
- The part lacked adequate warnings or instructions.
Sometimes, we find the city of Orlando or another government agency liable, such as when a hazardous road condition caused or contributed to your accident. You may also have a claim against the city if your accident involved a LYNX bus or other city-owned vehicle. You must notify the city of Orlando’s risk management department of your intention to sue before you file a lawsuit.
If the at-fault driver is not the vehicle’s owner, you can usually hold the owner liable. This is true whether the owner is someone who loaned the vehicle to the careless driver, an employer, or a fleet owner, such as a trucking company.
Other potentially liable parties include negligent mechanics, negligent road construction companies, or the owners of establishments that served excessive alcohol to drunk drivers. Our devoted Orlando car accident attorneys will ensure every liable party pays the compensation it owes.
Does It Affect My Compensation if I’m Found Partly at Fault for the Accident?
If you are assigned any degree of fault in the accident, it will affect your compensation. Florida’s modified comparative negligence law reduces your compensation in proportion to your share of the fault. You are not entitled to recover compensation if you are more than 50 percent at fault for the accident.
This gives the insurance company a vested interest in blaming you for the accident. For this reason, you should never accept an assignment of fault by the insurance company. In fact, you should only accept a finding of fault as determined by an experienced Orlando car accident attorney who is on your side.
You can even refute law enforcement’s fault findings. Our forensic accident investigation is more thorough, and we often find evidence not discovered during the police investigation. If you’ve been found at fault for an accident, even more than 50 percent, we may still be able to help. Call us today at (407) 329-5054 for a free case evaluation.
What Types of Damages Can I Get in an Orlando Car Accident Lawsuit?
You may be able to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more if you’ve been injured in a car accident in Orlando.
If your loved one died in a car accident, your family may be able to recover compensation for lost financial support, funeral expenses, mental grief and suffering, loss of companionship, and other financial and emotional losses.
Punitive damages may also be available, but only in limited cases when there is clear and convincing evidence of deliberate misconduct or gross negligence.

How Does Insurance Work After a Car Accident?
When you are injured in a car accident, you must file an injury claim with your personal injury protection policy, or PIP. If your injuries are serious, you may also qualify to file an accident claim against the other driver’s insurance policy. Florida’s no-fault insurance law defines serious injuries as the following:
- Permanent, significant loss of important bodily functions
- Injuries expected to be permanent
- Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Death
Our experienced Orlando car accident injury attorneys can determine the claims you are entitled to bring. We can also identify additional liable parties responsible and all applicable insurance coverage. We will then pursue all claims on your behalf.
What Should I Say to the Insurance Claims Adjuster?
You’ll likely hear from the insurance company’s adjuster shortly after the accident. Insurance adjusters often come across as friendly and helpful. They may even tell you they are on your side. But be very careful when speaking to the insurance adjuster. No matter what they tell you, insurance adjusters are not on your side. Their job is to ensure the insurance company pays as little as possible on claims.
The insurance adjuster may attempt to get you to admit fault, downplay your injuries, or take a lowball settlement offer. The safest way to deal with insurance adjusters is to direct them to your attorney without engaging in conversation. Even a casual conversation with an insurance adjuster can hurt you.
Our Orlando accident lawyers have inside knowledge of how insurance companies work to minimize claims, thanks to decades of experience working for them. We will easily recognize an adjuster’s tricks and neutralize their strategy. Don’t let the insurance company get the upper hand. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.
What Are the Most Common Types of Car Accident Injuries?
Some car accident injuries are so obvious as to result in an immediate trip to a trauma center. However, an injury can be serious, even if it initially seems minor. Debilitating pain or impairments requiring medical treatment could develop later. See a doctor as soon as possible after your accident so you can receive the treatment you need.
Common injuries suffered in car accidents include the following:
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Lost limbs
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- Back injury
- Neck injury
- Nerve damage
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
“After a serious injury, the most important thing is getting your attorney involved early. There are issues that come up when it comes to preservation, and preservation is a way that an attorney will be able to tell the at-fault driver or the at-fault owner that they need to preserve all the evidence. Sometimes, these insurance companies, if they don't have notice that they need to save the evidence, will get rid of [it]. So the attorney can step in there early and make sure that they’re preserving all the evidence.”
How Long Do I Have To File a Car Accident Lawsuit?
Crash victims in Florida generally have two years to file a car accident lawsuit according to the car accident statute of limitations in Florida. However, you shouldn’t wait to contact a reputable Orlando car accident lawyer. Investigating and preparing a car accident claim to yield maximum compensation requires extensive time and must be completed before your case is filed.
If you do not file your case before the statute of limitations expires, your right to pursue damages is forever lost. Contact us today to protect your claim.
