Everyone I dealt with at the Daytona office was very pleasant and a joy to work with. Bill Chanfrau number one concern was always focused on me getting better. Him and the staff worked diligently on my case. The settlement was very fair. I would highly recommend Bill Chanfrau to my family and friends. The only bad thing is now that my case is closed and I won't be seeing them.

Types of Personal Injury Claims
Flagler Beach is known for waterfront restaurants, parks, and fishing destinations, making it highly attractive to visitors. Though Flagler Beach residents and visitors can become victims of virtually any type of personal injury, there are some injuries that are more common than others. When the area sees a large influx of tourists during high season or events, accidents are more common. Our personal injury lawyers handle the following types of cases:
Driving down A1A is a great way to take in the nature preserves and sandy, white beaches. Unfortunately, this byway and other local roads experience truck, motorcycle, and car accidents caused by drivers who were not paying attention, speeding, or driving under the influence. These accidents can - and often do - cause injuries and death.
Many residents and visitors to Flagler Beach ride ATVs and golf carts on public streets and trails. Unfortunately, accidents involving ATVs and golf carts can be extremely damaging due to the lack of protection afforded by these vehicles. These accidents become much more common when inexperienced or intoxicated drivers are at the steering wheel.
The streets along Flagler Beach become more congested during high season, increasing the risk of pedestrian accidents. The risk is further increased when drivers and pedestrians are drinking. It is critically important that drivers and pedestrians obey all traffic laws when maneuvering the streets to avoid causing accidents and injuries.
Owners and property managers of the open-air cafes, restaurants, shops, and other establishments must follow reasonable safety measures. Debris on the ground, wet walkways, poor lighting, inadequate security, uneven walking surfaces, and defective railings can be considered negligence and grounds for a premises liability lawsuit.
Flagler Beach is a dog-friendly community; dogs are allowed on beaches and in other public areas, which can put people in close proximity to other people's pets. Dog owners have a duty to ensure their dogs do not injure others or cause property damage. In cases of serious dog bites, the owner may be financially responsible for resulting damages.
Road, housing, and business construction are common along the beach and across Flagler County. Unfortunately, if safety measures aren't implemented at construction sites, the risk of accidents increases. Construction accidents may involve falls, heavy equipment, motor vehicle accidents, caught-between accidents, and more.
