Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be frustrating enough without insurance companies trying to lowball settlements. Although an insurance claim is intended to cover the cost of car repairs and medical expenses, insurance companies may not offer a fair settlement. In fact, in certain cases, a lawsuit is the only way to guarantee that you receive the compensation you are owed. We offer aggressive representation to make sure you get the compensation you need to recover from your injuries. 

Our personal injury lawyers in Daytona Beach have represented clients involved in all types of accidents, from rear-end and head-on collisions to side-impact accidents, tire blowouts, and rollovers. Furthermore, we have worked with clients whose accidents were caused by a huge range of factors, including speeding, negligence and inattentiveness, use of controlled substances, failure to yield, failure to signal, texting or using cell phones, road rage, tailgating, rubbernecking, driver fatigue, night driving, teenage drivers, poor car maintenance, and inclement weather. As a result, we are deeply familiar with the ins and outs of car accident lawsuits. Our personal injury lawyers will work tirelessly to stand up to your insurance company and recover the full gamut of damages you deserve, including the cost of medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and, if necessary, funeral and burial services. 

Even though commercial truck drivers are held to a higher level of responsibility than other drivers, many accidents still occur. In 2017 alone, over 4,000 people in the U.S. were killed as the result of a collision with a truck. Because of their size, weight, and reduced maneuverability, trucks can be especially dangerous when driven or used improperly. Unfortunately, passenger vehicles are at much greater risk during impact: in a truck accident, occupants of cars account for 97 percent of the fatalities.

Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include inadequate training, lack of maintenance, fatigue, improper loading, drunk driving, and even simply inattentive driving. Any one of these factors can lead to head-on accidents, side-impacts, rollovers, jackknifes, and rear-end or under-ride collisions. 

In cases like these, it seems obvious that the fault should lie with the truck driver or their employers. However, insurance companies may not always come to the same conclusion. With the help of a personal injury attorney, you can hold drivers and their employers responsible for the harm they have inflicted upon you or a loved one.

It is important to keep in mind, though, that Florida is a no-fault state. As a result, unless there is a permanent injury or a wrongful death, there is a limit to how much insurance will pay. Insurance may only have to pay up to 80 percent of medical damages and 60 percent of lost wages. Consequently, having a personal injury lawyer on your side can make a world of difference and ensure you receive as much compensation as possible. 

Chanfrau & Chanfrau understands that simply coping with the aftermath of a traumatic accident can be difficult, let alone finding time to visit a lawyer. If you have been severely injured, traveling to an office may not even be a possibility. We are happy to meet with you at your place of work, at home, or even in your hospital room.
