Protect Your Interests in a Port Orange Personal Injury Case

Are you a construction worker who met with an accident on the job? Was your disability caused by catastrophic injuries resulting from a car crash? If another party was responsible for your losses, you may have a strong personal injury case. 

At Chanfrau & Chanfrau, our attorneys have successfully litigated personal injury cases in Daytona Beach and the surrounding areas for over four decades, securing extensive settlements and positive verdicts for our clients. Our law firm can represent clients who have sustained losses as a result of:

• Auto Accidents

• Shaken Baby Syndrome
• Sexual Child Abuse
• Wrongful Death
• Nursing Home Negligence
• Medical Malpractice
• Motorcycle Accident
• Premises Liability
• Slip and Fall Accidents

Depending upon the nature of the accident, victims can sustain various degrees of physical injuries, ranging from whiplash to spinal cord and brain damage. The emotional stress of an accident can also lead to depression and other mental health problems, impairing your quality of life. Calculating the total cost of your injuries is not a straightforward process because, in many instances, the complete emotional and physical toll is not immediately obvious. Your attorney can meticulously document all economic and non-economic expenses related to your injury to seek compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Ongoing rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages
• Diminished capacity
• Emotional stress
• Depression
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death

If your accident was caused by multiple parties, our personal injury lawyers can pursue all those responsible when fighting for justice on your behalf.

Motorcycle and car accidents are far too common in our Port Orange community, especially during the busy summer months and around races. In fact, in 2018 alone, there were almost 10,000 motor vehicle accidents in Volusia County, resulting in nearly 7,000 injuries.

If you have been involved in an accident in Port Orange or Daytona Beach, our lawyers encourage you to take these steps:

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you do not notice signs of an injury, it is important to be examined by a medical professional, as more serious complications like a traumatic brain injury may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, it can become more difficult for our lawyers to demonstrate a connection between your personal injury to the accident if there is not a medical record from immediately after the accident.

Speak with the Police

When speaking with law enforcement, do not admit fault. Simply recount the events of the accident and make sure a police report is filed. Find out how to get a copy of the report, as this documentation is vital for our personal injury lawyers to have when dealing with insurance companies.

Collect Evidence

If possible, you should also take pictures or video of the scene of the accident, as well as write down the contact information of any eyewitnesses. Our personal injury lawyers can use this information to build a strong case.

Contact a Law Firm

At this point, you should reach out to a personal injury attorney to determine whether or not you have a viable case. Chanfrau & Chanfrau has offices in Daytona Beach and offers free case reviews to personal injury victims.

After an act of negligence or malpractice, there are several individuals and groups who may owe you compensation. Our personal injury lawyers can help you pursue justice from:
