How Our Savannah Attorneys Will Protect Your Rights
Our personal injury lawyers will relieve you of the burden of your legal case so you can focus on your recovery. Below are just a few examples of the work we will do to help you recover the compensation you deserve:
- Case investigation. We’ll gather eyewitness statements, video surveillance, vehicle black box data, expert witness opinions, medical records, and other evidence to support your case.
- Identification of liable parties. We will look beyond the surface level of your case to identify all parties that owe you compensation.
- Insurance claim. We’ll file your insurance claim, demand full compensation, and negotiate with the opposition and their insurance company for a fair and just settlement.
- Litigation. If the insurance companies refuse to pay full compensation, we’ll file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires and negotiate a settlement.
- Representation at trial. If the insurance company refuses to take responsibility, we’ll take your case to trial.
- Medical bill debt negotiation. We’ll negotiate a reduction in your medical bills so you can keep more of your settlement.
“Part of our reputation is that we put people first. It starts with clients being our number one concern. That's something we've stood for since 1979. Our reputation is built on that basis, and that's how we got to where we are today.”
How Do I Prove Liability in a Personal Injury Case?
To prove negligence, you must prove that all of the elements of negligence occurred when you were injured:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care.
- The defendant breached the duty of care.
- You suffered an injury you would not have were it not for the breach.
- The breach of duty is the actual and proximate cause of your injury.
Under Georgia’s comparative negligence law, you cannot recover compensation if you are 50 percent or more at fault for the accident. If you are less than 50 percent to blame, you can recover compensation. However, your compensation will be reduced proportionately with your share of the blame. However, before you accept any assessment of fault, let Team Farah go to work for you. Our detailed case investigation may allow us to prove your case against the other party and clear you of any blame.
What Damages Can I Recover in a Savannah Personal Injury Case?
You may be entitled to economic, non-economic, and punitive damages when someone else’s negligence has injured you. Economic damages cover financial losses, such as lost wages and medical expenses. Non-economic damages compensate for subjective losses, such as pain and suffering and emotional distress. Punitive damages are awarded to punish defendants and deter future misconduct when you have clear and convincing evidence of deliberate misconduct or particularly egregious conduct.
Since every case is different, it’s impossible to estimate your case value without knowing the unique facts of your case, such as the severity of your injuries and their financial impact.
Our successful case results include the following and more:
- $5 million medical malpractice recovery for brain injuries sustained in an E.R.
- $3.4 million verdict for a truck accident victim with a herniated disk
- $2.5 million recovery for a car accident victim struck by a pickup
- $1.7 million recovery for a mechanic hurt when a 10-ton sign fell on him
- $1.3 million workers’ compensation recovery for an injured worker
- $1.2 million recovery for the wrongful death of a father of three children
- $1 million recovery for a motorcycle passenger struck by a truck
Savannah Case Highlight
Attorney Bradley Robinson represented a Savannah man who sustained serious neck and back injuries when a semi-truck rear-ended him while our client was turning into his driveway. His injuries required surgery and left him disabled. The insurance company refused to pay, claiming the man’s injuries weren’t from the accident.
After fighting for a year without results, the man contacted us. Bradley went right to work investigating his case. He obtained dash cam footage that showed the driver was distracted when he hit our client. This evidence persuaded the insurance company’s medical expert to change his opinion to favor our client. This new evidence allowed Bradley to negotiate a $1.5 million truck accident settlement.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we charge no fees unless we win. We also pay for the cost of investigating and filing your case. This ensures you have access to justice regardless of your financial resources. We collect our fees and costs from your compensation. Our fee is a percentage of your proceeds, which we disclose upfront. The bottom line is that you pay nothing unless you win.
“At Farah and Farah, we know accidents can be expensive. So when you work with us, you'll never have to pay out of pocket for our legal services. If we don't win your case, you owe us nothing. It's that simple.”
Our Savannah, GA, Personal Injury Practice Areas
When you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, hiring a Georgia personal attorney with proven experience handling your type of case is crucial. The types of cases our personal injury attorneys handle include motor vehicle accidents, slips and falls, construction accidents, medical malpractice, and more.
Car Accidents
No matter how careful a driver you are, you face a constant danger of being in an accident on Georgia roadways because of careless drivers. In 2021 alone, 14,533 crashes in Chatham County caused 345 injuries that appeared serious, and 42 people died.
Our dedicated car accident attorneys in Savannah understand how devastating car accident injuries can be. We have helped people with life-altering injuries, including spinal cord injuries, disfiguring burns, amputations, and other serious injuries recover substantial damages.
Car accidents are almost always preventable. Of the 1,797 fatalities statewide in 2022, 507 were caused by drunk driving and 422 by speeding. Call our Savannah car accident lawyers at (912) 452-2806 immediately if a negligent driver has injured you.
Truck Accidents
The Interstate 16 and 95 interchange just outside Savannah brings significant truck traffic to our area. Our truck accident attorneys in Savannah have the resources and experience needed to handle complex truck accident claims.
These cases are complex because of the catastrophic nature of truck accident injuries and because multiple parties are often liable. Large trucking companies may be liable for the carelessness of their drivers, and they often use their vast resources to fight accident victims who deserve compensation.
When a truck hits you, you can trust that our nationally recognized Savannah personal injury lawyers can hold big truck companies accountable.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are vulnerable roadway users who can experience serious injuries in even minor collisions. They may be more vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries, serious burns, and death.
Drivers often fail to see motorcycles because they don’t make a conscious effort to watch for them. Approximately 44 percent of motorcycle crashes with other vehicles occur because a left-turning driver pulled out in front of a motorcycle that was going straight after failing to see it.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, our personal injury lawyers in Savannah can help you hold the negligent driver accountable. You have a legal right to use the road, and every driver has a legal duty to watch for you. Call our Savannah motorcycle accident lawyers immediately at (912) 452-8110 if a negligent driver has hit you on your motorcycle.
Pedestrian Accidents
If you’ve been hit by a car while walking in Savannah, our pedestrian car accident attorneys in Georgia may be able to help. Pedestrians are even more vulnerable than motorcycle riders, and from 2018 to 2022, 13 pedestrians in Chatham County lost their lives in car accidents.
Slips and Falls
Our slip and fall lawyers in Savannah may be able to help you recover significant damages if you have fallen as a result of the property owner’s negligence. Property owners are legally obligated to maintain safe premises for visitors and customers. Common causes of slips and falls resulting from negligence include the following:
- Wet floors
- Broken stairs
- Uneven pavement
- Trip hazards
- Poor lighting
Whether you slip and fall at someone else’s residence, a shopping center, or anywhere else, our personal injury attorneys in Savannah can help.
Construction Accidents
Although our Savannah personal injury lawyers can help with any type of workplace injury claim, construction sites are the most common. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the four most common causes of construction accidents are as follows:
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Struck-by accidents
- Caught in or between accidents
- Electrocutions
Workplace injuries are usually covered by workers’ compensation, a form of no-fault insurance maintained by employers. It pays some of your lost wages and provides medical care. Unfortunately, employers often fight workers’ compensation claims.
Our Savannah workers’ compensation lawyers can help you file your initial claim or appeal a denial. In some cases, we can also help you find additional compensation outside the workers’ compensation system by looking for parties other than your employer who may be liable, such as defective product manufacturers.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor fails to provide a reasonable standard of care, causing an injury or harm. The reasonable standard of care is defined as the actions expected of a reasonable doctor with similar qualifications based on the information available at the time of the error.
Our Savannah medical malpractice attorneys have helped clients harmed by the following medical errors and more:
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
- Delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Medication errors
- Emergency room errors
- Birth injuries
- Nursing home abuse
Medical malpractice cases are one of the most complex areas of personal injury law, requiring the assistance of personal injury lawyers in Savannah with specific experience handling medical malpractice cases. We have been helping people harmed by negligent doctors, nurses, radiologists, surgeons, hospitals, nursing homes, and more since 1979.
Wrongful Death
Our supportive and skilled personal injury attorneys in Savannah can help you file a wrongful death lawsuit when you suffer the heartbreaking loss of your beloved family member because of someone else’s negligence. In Georgia, the following survivors may collect wrongful death damages:
- A spouse
- Children
- Parents
- Dependent blood relatives
If your family is coping with the untimely loss of a family member, you can count on our wrongful death lawyers in Georgia to fight for justice. Although no amount of money can make up for the loss of a loved one, it can provide financial security and relieve your family of the costs associated with the death.
Social Security Disability
If you’ve become permanently disabled, our personal injury lawyers in Savannah can help you apply for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income. Hiring a lawyer to help with your application can help you avoid a denial and the need to go through a sometimes lengthy appeals process.
If you have already been denied benefits, we can still help. It’s crucial that you call one of our Savannah Social Security Disability lawyers as soon as possible after your denial so we can file your appeal before the deadline.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation covers your medical care and provides partial wage replacement when you are injured at work, regardless of whether anyone was negligent. It is meant to provide a fast means of continued financial support while you recover. However, many employers and insurance carriers try to avoid paying benefits and refuse to cooperate, complicating claims.
Whether the employer or insurance carrier denies your claim, pays less than you deserve, or tries to force you to return to work before you are ready, our knowledgeable Savannah workers’ compensation lawyers can help you get the benefits you deserve.
Labor Law
As an employee in Georgia, you are entitled to fair pay in a safe, hospitable work environment free from discrimination or harassment. Our Savannah labor law attorneys can help you recover compensation and, if applicable, force your employer to reinstate you to your previous position with the same level of seniority if you experience unfair treatment at work.

What Is the Statute of Limitation for Personal Injury in Savannah?
The personal injury statute of limitations in Georgia is generally two years from the date of injury or death. However, this doesn’t mean you should wait to contact an attorney. Before your case can be filed, your attorney must complete your case investigation, and this takes time. As the statute of limitations nears, the insurance company will likely attempt to run out the clock.
If you miss the deadline, your case will be dismissed, and you’ll lose out on the compensation you deserve. Don’t let this happen to you. Call our experienced personal injury lawyers in Savannah at (912) 452-8110, and let us start protecting your claim today.
