The Importance of Hiring a Car Accident Lawyer
With the help of a car accident lawyer at the law firm of Chanfrau & Chanfrau, you can:
Focus On Your Recovery
If you sustained an injury as a result of your car accident, a lawyer can handle every aspect of your case so that you can focus on your recovery. Whether we settle with the other driver's insurance company or take your case to court, we will provide hands-on support throughout every step.
Build a Compelling Case
On your own, it can be difficult to prove who is at fault and what your total losses amount to. With over 40 years in the field, our attorneys know how to build a compelling car accident case. We work with experts to determine the at-fault party and calculate the full extent of your losses.
Reach a Favorable Outcome
If your car accident was caused by a negligent driver, you should not be financially responsible for medical bills, property damage, or other expenses. By holding the other driver liable, our car accident attorneys can help you recover compensation for easily calculable losses like medical bills, as well as non-economic losses like your pain and suffering.
“Knowing Chanfrau & Chanfrau is a family-owned law firm invested in my community for several decades and at least two generations, I contacted them after being involved in a serious auto accident. Bill Chanfrau and his amazing team treated me with professionalism, dignity, expertise, and compassion with every interaction. Working with them has given me tremendous peace of mind. I am truly grateful.” —Donna, 5-Star Review
What to Do After an Accident: Hear From Attorney William Chanfrau, Jr.
Attorney William Chanfrau, Jr. explains the value of your smartphone and the importance of undergoing a medical exam following an accident. Carefully document the scene, the condition of your car, and the condition of the other driver's car. These are crucial components in collecting the restitution you need and deserve.
Our Car Accident Lawyers Will Come to You Wherever You Are
Our attorneys understand that it's not always possible for car accident victims to come to us. Drivers with injuries might be hospitalized, while drivers with totaled vehicles might not have access to transportation.
If you are unable to visit our personal injury attorneys, we can conduct your free case evaluation over the phone, or we can come to you, whether you're in Holly Hill, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, or anywhere in the Daytona Beach area. With offices in Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, and DeLand, our team is never far away. Our Daytona Beach office is less than five minutes from Holly Hill.
Car Accidents Are Extremely Common In Holly Hill and Throughout Volusia County
According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, in 2022, there were 397,620 total crashes in the state of Florida. Of those car crashes, 9,648 took place in Volusia County. These auto accidents resulted in more than 130 fatalities and more than 6,800 injuries.
Holly Hill sits along US-1 (Ridgewood Avenue), a major north-south corridor running through the city, and is connected to I-95 via LPGA Boulevard just to the west. Both routes link Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, and communities further north toward Flagler Beach and Palm Coast. Seasonal surges in visitors during beach and racing seasons, a large motorcycle culture tied to Bike Week and Biketoberfest, and vehicle traffic permitted on nearby Volusia County beaches all contribute to dangerous conditions for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists throughout the area.
Can I Pursue a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Florida is one of just 13 states that require drivers to have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. PIP insurance covers the policyholder's own losses (like medical expenses and lost wages) up to $10,000, regardless of who is at fault for the accident.
While $10,000 might be sufficient coverage for victims of minor accidents, people involved in serious crashes often suffer losses that far exceed this amount. Especially in cases when a person has sustained permanent injury, disfigurement, or loss of life, taking legal action against the responsible parties by filing a personal injury lawsuit may be the best way to recover what you are truly owed.
Florida's Statute of Limitations For Car Accident Claims
If the accident happened before March 24th, 2023, you have four years from the date of the accident to file. For accidents that occurred after March 24th, 2023, you have two years from the date of the injury to file. Wrongful death, regardless of the date of the injury, has a two year window.
What to Expect During Your Car Accident Case
No two car accident claims are alike: the lawyers at Chanfrau & Chanfrau will handle your case with dedication and informed perspectives that give you the best chance at a favorable outcome.
Which Types of Damages Justify Compensation?
Your wrongful death or personal injury claim will contain a record of all losses you incurred in the accident. These are known as damages. Our car accident attorneys can help you seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Here's how they differ:
Economic Damages
Economic damages compensate you for monetary losses incurred as a result of your injury. This may include compensation for past and future medical bills, prescription medications, missed wages from work, property damage, and any rehabilitative services you may require for your recovery.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate you for non-monetary losses that have affected your life as a result of your injury. This may include physical pain, mental and emotional anguish, bodily disfigurement, inconvenience, loss of consortium, and decreased quality of life.
“Chanfrau & Chanfrau is a solid law firm that did right by me! They have a highly capable team. Their years of experience with good communication, and efficient detail oriented manner guided me to a favorable resolution. I'm grateful for their expertise and highly recommend them. They're the best!” —Jimmy, 5-Star Review
What About Punitive Damages?
Punitive damages are an additional damages category that are intended to punish the defendant for their behavior and deter them from acting similarly in the future. In Florida, the amount of punitive damages awarded may be no more than three times the amount of compensatory damages awarded or $500,000 (whichever is greater).
Punitive damages are awarded very rarely and only in cases where extreme negligence or recklessness is demonstrated. Still, if you believe these damages may be applicable in your case, our lawyers serving Holly Hill will gladly pursue the full extent to which you may be entitled to.
Compassionate Representation for Your Family
How a Wrongful Death Claim Can Help You Move Forward
In the tragic event that a car accident in Holly Hill or the surrounding Volusia County communities (including Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Orange City, or Bunnell) caused the loss of a loved one, you have the deepest condolences of our personal injury lawyers. While nothing could ever replace a life, filing a wrongful death lawsuit can allow your family to secure resources that help you move forward, and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.
There is a two-year statute of limitations on wrongful death suits that begins from the date of your loved one's passing. If this is an avenue you'd like to consider exploring, we encourage you to reach out to our attorneys sooner rather than later.
“All I can say is they handled our case with class, dignity and with a very high level of professionalism. Bill was great representation and covered all aspects of my case thoroughly. If you're looking for a firm that really cares about your case, this is your firm.” —Chris, 5-Star Review
