According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, in 2017 alone, there were more than 400,000 crashes in Florida, with around 3,000 crashes resulting in fatalities. Kissimmee is a major tourist attraction, and many drivers are unfamiliar with the roads in and around the metropolitan area. Unfortunately, in recent years, this has led to daily car accidents, resulting in minor, severe, catastrophic injuries or death.
Today, stories of fatal car accidents are in the news almost every day. In June 2021, a Mercedes was involved in a single-car crash on the John Young Parkway in Osceola County, killing the occupant’s driver and leaving a passenger in critical condition. The car went off the road, hit a tree, ejected both men and then caught on fire. Neither man was wearing a seat belt.
In another accident, in September 2020, four people were killed in Osceola County in a two-vehicle collision on U.S. 441. The road conditions were slick from recent rain, and one of the cars, a sedan, veered off the road, and a pickup truck then t-boned the sedan. Three people in the sedan were killed, and the truck driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was also killed.
Stories of car accidents like these in Florida are, sadly, all too common. In yet another tragic case, in May 2021, a woman was pulled over with her hazard lights on, on the side of the Florida Turnpike in Orange County when a man driving an SUV crashed into the woman’s car. The crash happened at around 3 a.m. The woman, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from her car and died at the scene. The man, who is from Kissimmee, is facing criminal charges for the accident.

While there are unique circumstances to each car accident, they often fall within several categories. To better understand the situation you’re in, here are the types of accidents you should know:
Many factors contribute to a car accident. It may happen because of one or several of these causes combined. Here are the most common ones:
The priority after a car accident is to seek medical attention. Refrain from moving yourself or moving anyone else if there are signs of pain. Getting treatment can help reduce the effects of any injuries and prevent unwanted stress on the body.
If you can, gather information about the accident itself. Taking pictures and getting details of those in the scene can help your future case. If you can, get contact details from any authorities or those who witnessed the accident.
While you are recovering or after you’ve recovered, seek out a lawyer immediately. It’s vital to have enough time to see your different legal options. More time also means we’ll be able to gather sufficient evidence for the case.
If you cannot gather any information or evidence during the accident, do not fret. If you contact us early, we can get to work. We’ll be able to investigate the incident and get as many details as possible.
Florida imposes a four-year statute of limitations on car accidents. That means that you must file a case within that time for it to remain valid. If someone perishes in the accident, the state gives two years because it is a wrongful death case. If you file any later, the court will reject it.
Two to four years is plenty of time to get ready. However, we recommend consulting with us as soon as possible. The more time we have, the more solid the case will be, as we’ll gather everything that we can to improve your chances.
