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.
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.

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. Auto drivers aren't the only ones who are injured or killed in accidents. Volusia County also reported many accidents involving motorcycle drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
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.
Florida Is a Pure Comparative Fault State What Does This Mean For You?
Florida's pure comparative fault rule means that you can file a personal injury claim to recover losses even if you are partially at fault in the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility. For example, if a person is proven to be 40% at fault for an accident, their compensation owed is reduced by 40%.
This is one of the reasons why it is so important to work with a car accident lawyer when pursuing a claim. We have the knowledge and resources to investigate an accident and make sure you are not wrongly or disproportionately assigned liability. We will hold the responsible parties accountable for negligence and help you recover maximum compensation.

No two car accident claims are alike: the lawyers at Chanfrau & Chanfrau will handle your case with innovative, informed perspectives that give you the best chance at a favorable outcome.
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 Holly Hill car accident 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 will help you move forward, and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.
As we mentioned when discussing the statute of limitations for car accident lawsuits, there is also 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.
We Are Happy to Stand With You
