The Chanfrau team dug and found a detail that many other firms would have easily overlooked.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Motorcycle DUI Accident Claims
What compensation can I recover after a DUI-related motorcycle accident?
You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and if you’ve lost a family member, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and more. Every motorcycle accident case is unique, so we tailor our approach to secure the maximum compensation available under Florida law.
Should I speak to the insurance company after the accident?
It’s best to avoid direct contact. The insurance company may try to minimize your injury claim or pressure you into a quick settlement. Our attorneys handle all communication to protect your rights and position your case for fair compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Florida?
In most Florida motorcycle accident cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury case. However, it’s important to act quickly so evidence can be preserved and your legal options remain open.
Do I need a lawyer if the other driver was clearly at fault?
Yes. Even if fault is obvious, proving the full value of your motorcycle accident claim, including long-term medical treatments and lost earning capacity, requires skilled legal representation. Our law firm builds cases with trial in mind, giving you leverage in negotiations.
Can I file a claim if a loved one was killed in a motorcycle DUI accident?
Surviving family members may pursue wrongful death injury claims to cover medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income, and loss of companionship. We can guide you through the process with compassion and experience.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes. Under Florida’s comparative negligence rules, you may still be able to recover damages even if you were partly responsible for the Florida motorcycle accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your award will be reduced by that amount.
