YOU’VE GOT ONE SHOT AT COMPENSATION, MAKE IT COUNT.
THE VISION TO SEE, THE FAITH TO BELIEVE, THE COURAGE TO DO.
When you’ve suffered loss due to the
negligence of others, choosing an
experienced law firm is one of the most
critical decisions you can make. The
outcome of your case could profoundly
influence your recovery, both financially
and physically, for years to come.
Since 1979, our firm has tried many cases
involving auto accident, personal injury,
and insurance law. We’ve assisted injured
people and their families, all with one goal
in mind: maximizing recovery, no matter
what the claim.
OUR MISSION
Every year, countless claims arise involving
physical injuries, wrongful death, property
damage and economic loss. The common
denominator in all three cases is negligence.
Our firm has a long track record of proving
negligence and achieving substantial
awards to compensate clients for pain and
suffering, grief, loss of income, economic
support, medical treatment and damaged
property. Farah & Farah is experienced in
getting you the medical benefits and
treatment you need - even when your
insurance company, HMO
or employer won’t pay. We can handle
denied payments for medical tests or future
therapy, unpaid Personal Injury Protection
(PIP) benefits, inadequately paid claims
for personal property losses and denied
disability benefits. We can also help
you decide whether to file a worker’s
compensation claim for injuries sustained
both at work and during non-work hours
and assist you in receiving Social Security
benefits to which you are entitled. The
bottom line is personal attention -
providing exactly the resources needed to
get you the justice you deserve. We’ll meet
with clients whenever it’s convenient and
wherever they are: in the hospital, at home
or in our offices. And, our fees are strictly
on a contingency basis: Whatever we get
paid comes out of the damages received.
We only get compensated if you do.

VIOXX LITIGATION Vioxx, an arthritis and acute pain medication, was the subject of significant litigationacross the country when a clinical trial showed a dramatic increase in patient risk of heart attacks, strokes,
or other cardiovascular events. In September, 2004, drug maker Merck announced a voluntary worldwide
withdraw of Vioxx. Only after Vioxx was approved by the FDA was it revealed that Merck and its own
scientist knew that the drug had the potential to harm patients. Eddie Farah and his team represented
victims of this dangerous drug and recently received a multi-million dollar settlement for their pain,
suffering, or loss of a loved one.

TOBACCO SETTLEMENT Farah & Farah has committed the firm's resources to pursuing tobacco lawsuits for those who were victimized by decades of deception and lies about the dangers of cigarette smoking.
When a major case against Big Tobacco was decertified in 2003, it allowed thousands of Florida smokers
and the survivors of relatives who had died from smoking-related diseases to join the "class" which had
valuable legal rights. Chuck Farah and his team’s efforts recently brought $80 million in relief to the
families who had waited for justice for so long.
“THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE THE HIGHEST LAW.”– MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
As you can see on the next page, we have
had many successes. Whether a case goes to
court or settles out of court, our dedication
and experience work together to maximize
the amount of your recovery. In the final
analysis, the people who say “It’s all about
the money,” are right. Money you’ll be able
to use to help regain your health and quality
of life. Money you probably wouldn’t have
received if we hadn’t been there to help.
We take great pride in that fact. And that
our clients have received many millions of
dollars as a result of our efforts. But for us,
the real satisfaction comes from knowing
that justice has been served and that we’ve
played a large role in giving our clients
their lives back.
OUR RESULTS
HELPING PEOPLE IS THE ROAD WE TRAVEL.
