DUI/DWI
Punitive damages are significantly rarer, however there are cases where they can be awarded. Punitive damages are sought in cases where the negligent party committed especially reckless, egregious behavior such as drunk driving. Punitive damages can result in significantly higher compensation than compensatory damages.
Wrongful Death
In the event that your child was killed due to his or her birth injury, we can help you file a wrongful death claim for loss of consortium and companionship.
Traffic Violations
Drivers without regard for the safety of others often lead to a car crash injury. Year after year, speeding and reckless driving continue to be two of the most common causes of car accidents. As speed increases, so do the distances needed to brake effectively. A speeding motorist also has less time to react to an incident on the road.
Misdemeanors
Recognized as one of the most accomplished personal injury attorneys in Florida, William M. Chanfrau, Jr., has been practicing law for over 20 years. His career began at the State Attorneys Office, where he served from August 1997 through 2000. While there, he successfully handled hundreds of Misdemeanor and Felony cases through the final resolution either by plea negotiations and/or trial. In January 2001, William started practicing law at Chanfrau, Chanfrau and Bouck as an Associate where he focused on handling both plaintiff's personal injury claims and criminal cases. In July 2007, William became the managing partner at Chanfrau & Chanfrau where he continues today to focus primarily on plaintiff’s personal injury claims. Acknowledged as one of America’s Top 100 Attorneys, he has held and continues to hold leadership positions both professionally and in the community.

A female call service center representative gave in to sexual demands from her supervisor before telling her supervisor she wanted them to stop. The supervisor began writing her up at work and threatening to fire her if their sexual relationship did not continue. She refused this demand and was subjected to wrongful termination.
Employment Discrimination
In September of 2020, the United States Department of Justice(DOJ) settled a race discrimination lawsuit against the city of Venice, Florida. The lawsuit alleged that a Black city employee was subjected to repeated, unwarranted disciplinary action based on his race. The employee had served two unpaid suspensions, endured racial slurs, and was eventually fired. The DOJ's attorney's complaint stated that the Black employee faced significantly harsher punishments than his comparable white coworkers.
Employment Contract
In addition to employment contracts, we can help with non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, independent contractor agreements, and more. Our employment lawyers can help ensure employees understand the complex legalese often included in contracts, and that employers' contracts and agreements are robust and enforceable.
Employment Litigation
My husband and I reached out to Kelly Chanfrau and her staff regarding an employment matter. They were quick to respond to our concerns and needs and got the job done efficiently. So grateful to have a team as compassionate as they were during a time of uncertainty. I would recommend them if you have any employment issues. View on Google
