The Ormond Beach Community Endures Many Motor Vehicle Accidents

Ormond Beach, FL, and Volusia County as a whole suffer from many damaging auto wrecks.

In 2023, Volusia County suffered 9,212 total crashes. These resulted in 4,126 injuries and 110 fatalities

Ormond Beach Is Especially Dangerous

Daytona Beach downtown

The Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach areas are booming. While this is great news for business, it can mean terrible things for our roads. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) projects that traffic on US-1 will more than double by 2050 and will increase by over 40% on I-95. This means more commercial trucks will pass through our community, increasing the potential for truck accidents and endangering passenger vehicles. 

The Destination Daytona area is already infamous for major car accidents on US-1 at I-95. Additionally, tight loop ramps and bridges on these highways fail to meet FDOT standards. On top of our highway issues, a study published in 2022 found the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach metro area to be the deadliest in the nation for pedestrians. Experts believe that improved road designs could prevent many of these deaths. 

We Can Hold the Government Accountable

/

The Ormond Beach City Commission is actively involved in projects designed to improve road safety. It is the government's responsibility to maintain safe roadways. If your truck accident was fully or partially caused by governmental failure, we can hold the municipality accountable.

I have never had to use a lawyer before in my life, so I was skeptical to step into this arena. But Chanfrau & Chanfrau were incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. They were helpful, supportive, and made next steps easy to navigate. I was fearful of self-serving processes and money-hungry lawyers and paralegals, but I did not find this at all. You are in good hands with Chanfrau & Chanfrau.

There Is a Strict Deadline But You May Have More Time Than You Think

Lawyer receiving form

Statute of limitations laws create hard deadlines for when certain types of lawsuits must be filed by. These deadlines vary state-to-state. Failing to file your personal injury lawsuit within the time limit likely bars you from ever collecting the compensation you deserve. 

For personal injury lawsuits, Florida allows victims a full four years from the date of their harm to file a claim if the injury happened before March 24th, 2023. 

This is significantly longer than what most states provide. If a truck accident tragically claimed the life of a loved one, you have just two years from the date of their death to file a wrongful death claim. Any injury that occurred after March 24th, 2023, also has two years to file. 

Our Team Obtains Major Compensation In Truck Accident Cases

The Chanfrau & Chanfrau law firm has collected over a billion in compensation for our clients. Many of our major victories have been achieved in truck accident cases. We won:

 

$1.5 million for a fatal under-ride truck accident 

$1.5 million for an under-ride truck accident that caused bodily injuries

$1.2 million for a client who suffered injuries after a large truck illegally backed onto an unlit highway

Florida Does Not Limit Your Compensation

Unlike some states, Florida has no limit on economic or non-economic damages in a personal injury case or wrongful death case. While rare, punitive damages may also be awarded if your truck accident was caused by egregiously reckless behavior. 

It can be tempting to accept a quick settlement from the responsible truck driver's insurance company. This type of offer is typically a lowball settlement that does not fully cover your harm. It is highly recommended that you speak to our attorneys so we can seek the most compensation possible on your behalf. 

Injured? Our Lawyers Can Come to You Free Consultations, Wherever You Are

Any injury suffered in a motor vehicle accident can be serious, but those suffered in accidents with large dump trucks, tanker trucks, and semi-trailers can be especially devastating.

If you’re currently recovering from a truck crash at home or at the hospital, don’t burden yourself by trying to get to our offices for your case review. Our attorneys will gladly come to you.

Let’s arrange to meet. You can send us an online message with specifics or give us a call, and we’ll get back to you shortly.

Your Truck Accident Claim: A General Timeline

Every case is different, so our truck accident attorneys cannot guarantee a resolution by a certain date. What we will do, however, is work diligently and efficiently on your behalf, bring in outside experts and witnesses to bolster a strong argument in your favor, and keep you informed every step of the way.

Here’s the general process we follow when representing truck accident cases in Ormond Beach, FL:

Your Free Consultation

You’ll meet with a Chanfrau & Chanfrau truck accident lawyer at our offices or a location of your choosing for a completely free review of your case. We’re here to listen to your side of the story, and if you become our client, we can initiate your truck accident claim right away.

Filing a Claim With the Other Driver’s Insurance

Your attorney will begin by filing a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. The company will most likely come back with an offer far lower than you deserve. At this point, our truck accident lawyers serving Ormond Beach can continue the claims process until you receive a reasonable offer, or we can explore filing a lawsuit to secure compensation.

Going to Court

Though we are often able to reach a resolution before this stage, in some cases, it’s necessary to take a truck accident case to court. Rest assured that you’re in good hands at Chanfrau & Chanfrau. We have board-certified trial lawyers on our team, and we’re not afraid to take the fight to big trucking corporations, truck manufacturers, or insurance groups. 

Moving Forward

If you are awarded compensation through a settlement or verdict, you can use it to cover medical bills, medications, rehabilitative expenses, the replacement cost of your vehicle, and much more. We work hard to ensure our clients receive all of what they need to get back to a state of normalcy after injury.

Our Client-Driven Mission: “Maximized my return and kept me in the loop every step of the way.”

Facing a confusing legal issue, I contacted Kelly Chanfrau. Not only did she patiently explain my options with crystal-clear language, but she also offered an honest assessment of my best path forward (even if that meant I did not have a case). She ultimately saved me from making a costly mistake. Kelly's expertise and genuine concern for my well-being were evident throughout our consultation. Without a doubt, I would recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and insightful lawyer.
