Personal Injury & Wrongful Death

The Farr Law Firm’s personal injury attorney, Darol H.M. Carr, represents injured clients and their families throughout Southwest Florida in obtaining reparations for their losses – whether they are tangible, economic damages or emotional injuries. 

Mr. Carr has years of valuable experience in targeting the responsible parties in personal injury cases and assessing the inflicted damages.  He understands the difficulty of trying to assign a monetary value to emotional pain and suffering, and works closely with his clients to secure just financial compensation for damages. 

Representing Personal Injury Victims and Wrongful Death Plaintiffs

In personal injury cases, Darol H.M. Carr represents plaintiffs who have been seriously hurt in order to secure adequate compensation for their economic damages (including lost wages and medical expenses), as well as bodily injury, pain and suffering, and permanent physical impairment. 

In wrongful death matters, Mr. Carr  aims to maximize his client’s recovery – including loss of support and services from the date of decedent's injury, future loss of support and services, recovery for loss of decedent's companionship, and protection, pain and suffering from the date of fatal injury.

Coordinating Available Insurance Coverage to Maximize the Personal Injury Client’s Recovery

Darol H.M. Carr and his support staff work together with the clients to coordinate all of the client's available insurance coverage, including medical insurance, disability insurance, uninsured motorist coverage, personal injury protection benefits, and workers' compensation benefits to maximize the client's recovery.

Farr’s Personal Injury Cases Undertaken on Either Contingency Fee Basis or Hourly Rate

At the Farr Law Firm, Darol H.M. Carr takes personal injury and wrongful death cases on either a contingency percentage or hourly fee basis, as agreed upon by the attorney and the client.  The law firm pays all costs for contingency cases in advance and recovers them upon successful conclusion of the case.

Balancing the Choice between Personal Injury Settlement and Trial

Darol H.M. Carr knows that reaching a successful personal injury settlement in a timely manner is often beneficial to the injured party and his or her family, and he seeks to resolve matters out of court when an optimal settlement can be reached. 

However, Mr. Carr is also aware that responsible parties often try to capitalize on the desire to settle matters out-of-court by offering the injured party an inadequate settlement, and he understands the importance of taking a personal injury case to trial if the proposed settlement does not cover the damages incurred.
