Orlando Car Accident Lawyer | Downtown & Tourist District Defense

Driving in Orlando is unlike driving anywhere else in Florida. You aren’t just sharing the road with locals; you are dodging confused tourists on International Drive, aggressive commuters on the I-4 Express Lanes, and rideshare drivers constantly checking their GPS. In “The City Beautiful,” a beautiful day can turn into a nightmare in a split second.

At Juan Burgos Law, we are based right here in Central Florida. We know that a crash on Colonial Drive (SR 50) involves different liability challenges than a pile-up near Universal Studios. If you were injured by a negligent driver, we fight the big insurance carriers to ensure your medical bills are paid, not just today, but for the future care you may need.

High-Risk Zones in Orlando (32801, 32819, 32808)

We investigate accidents throughout the metro area, but certain corridors are notorious for specific types of negligence:

1. The “I-4 Ultimate” Corridor

Despite the construction finishing, the curves near the Fairbanks and Princeton exits remain dangerous. Sudden slowdowns often lead to high-speed rear-end collisions. We use traffic camera footage to prove the other driver was following too closely.

2. International Drive (I-Drive) & The Attractions

Tourists in rental cars often look at their phones or maps instead of the road. Sudden U-turns and drifting into lanes are common here. Liability can be complex when dealing with rental car agencies and out-of-state drivers, but we know how to find the coverage.

3. Downtown Orlando (Orange Ave & Rosalind)

The one-way streets and heavy pedestrian traffic create a minefield. We handle many cases involving drivers who run red lights or fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks near Lake Eola.

Medical Treatment: The Level 1 Trauma Advantage

If you are severely injured in Orlando, you were likely taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC), the area’s only Level 1 Trauma Center.
Important: You must seek initial medical care within 14 days to trigger your $10,000 PIP benefits. Even if you went to the ER, you need follow-up care with a specialist to document that your injury is permanent.

Why Hire an Orlando-Based Attorney?

• We Know the Courts: We litigate cases right here at the Orange County Courthouse on N. Orange Avenue. We know the procedures of the 9th Judicial Circuit.
• Uninsured Motorist Claims: Orlando has a high density of uninsured drivers. We help you stack your own UM coverage to ensure you get paid even if the at-fault driver has nothing.
• Dealing with Disney/Universal Traffic: Accidents involving buses or shuttles near the parks have sovereign immunity or corporate shield issues that require specialized legal knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hit by an Uber in Downtown Orlando. Who pays?

It depends on the app status. If they had a passenger, Uber/Lyft provides a $1 Million policy. If they were just waiting for a ride, coverage is lower. We pull the digital logs to prove exactly when the crash happened to maximize your settlement.

How much does a lawyer cost?

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay $0 upfront. We only get paid a percentage of the settlement we win for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
