Orange City's Distressing Accident Stats

  • Orange City experienced a higher rate of fatal traffic accidents per capita from 1975 through 2021 compared to the state of Florida as a whole.

Enterprise Road Is the Site of Many Tragedies

All fatal traffic accidents in Orange City in 2016 and 2017 occurred on or near Enterprise Road. In the years since, many more tragedies have occurred here.

In October of 2022, an Orange City motorcyclist was killed at an Enterprise Road intersection when they collided with a Dodge utility vehicle making a left turn. Just two months after this fatal motorcycle accident, a 60-year-old woman was killed at an Enterprise Road intersection when an Orange City police cruiser struck her.

In addition to suing negligent drivers, our attorneys can examine the possibility of pursuing compensation from the government if our local municipality failed to maintain safe roadway conditions.

Potential Forms of Compensation In a Car Accident Case

The financial stress after a car accident can be severe for many local families. Fortunately, our personal injury lawyers are available to pursue every possible form of compensation on your behalf. After a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Vehicle Repairs

The party responsible for the car accident should be responsible for paying for vehicle repairs or a replacement. We will go to battle for you to ensure that you are properly compensated for your vehicle.

Medical Expenses

If you suffer a personal injury in a car accident, the medical expenses can be steep. Our personal injury lawyers help our clients achieve just compensation so they can focus on recovery.

Lost Wages

You may be out of work after a car accident, especially if you are injured. In extreme cases, victims cannot return to work at all or must switch occupations. It is possible to calculate your lost wages and receive compensation for these effects.

Emotional Trauma

Serious car accidents can lead to severe emotional trauma for some victims. Our compassionate lawyers understand the connection between car accidents and depression, and we will fight for you to be compensated for your hardship.

I could tell from the first appointment that I could trust Bill Chanfrau Jr., Amanda Brown and the Chanfrau team. Being a Vietnam Vet, that does not come easy. As time went on I could see that this law firm represented honesty, integrity and professionalism. The team was diligent and courteous and treated me like family. At the end Bill Chanfrau Jr. kept all his promises to me and they exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Chanfrau & Chanfrau Law Firm to anyone.

The Right Lawyer Matters

For decades, our state operated under the legal framework known as pure comparative negligence. In March of 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill (HB) 837, Civil Remedies into law, changing our state to the usage of modified comparative negligence. 

This change means that if a Florida car accident victim is determined by the courts to be primarily at fault for their crash, they cannot receive any compensation whatsoever. Furthermore, the amount of compensation awarded is in direct proportion to what percentage the victim is found to be responsible for their accident. 

This law makes it imperative to hire proven lawyers – like our team that has won over a billion for victims – since you may recover nothing in your lawsuit if your legal team fails to prove that you were not the most to blame for your wreck.

Don't Delay. There Are Strict Deadlines

Statute of limitations laws set hard deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed by. If you miss your deadline, you almost certainly lose the ability to ever receive compensation for your losses. Here are the relevant statute of limitations for Florida car accidents. 

Personal Injury

A personal injury lawsuit is the type of claim filed by the injured victim of a car accident that was caused by someone else's negligence. In Florida, you have just two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury claim. 

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death lawsuit is filed by the surviving family members of an individual who was killed in a car crash by a negligent driver or third party. In our state, you have only two years from the date of your loved one's passing to file a wrongful death suit.
