Pine Hills Car Accident Lawyer | Silver Star & Pine Hills Rd Defense

Pine Hills is one of the busiest and most vibrant communities in Orange County, but it also has some of the most dangerous intersections. Residents rely heavily on roads like Silver Star Road and Pine Hills Road to get to work, but aggressive driving and poor lighting at night lead to serious crashes. Too often, insurance companies stereotype drivers from this area and try to deny valid claims.

At Juan Burgos Law, we treat every client with the respect and dignity they deserve. We know that for many families in Pine Hills, a car is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline. If you were hit by a careless driver, we fight to get your car fixed and your medical bills paid, regardless of your zip code.

Dangerous Intersections in Pine Hills (32808, 32818)

We handle cases throughout West Orlando, but we frequently see severe injuries at these locations:

1. Silver Star Road & Pine Hills Road

This is arguably the busiest intersection in the community. Drivers rushing to beat the light often cause high-speed “T-Bone” collisions. We also see many accidents involving pedestrians trying to cross to get to the bus stops.

2. Colonial Drive (SR 50) & Hiawassee Road

Just south of the main Pine Hills area, this intersection is a nightmare during rush hour. Rear-end collisions are constant here, leading to whiplash and herniated disc injuries that require long-term therapy.

3. Powers Drive & North Lane

These residential collectors see many accidents involving children playing near the road or cars backing out of driveways without looking. Speeding through these neighborhoods is a major negligence issue we target.

What If the Other Driver Fled? (Hit-and-Run)

Sadly, Hit-and-Run accidents are common in Pine Hills. If you are hit and the other driver speeds off:
1. Call 911 Immediately: You need a police report to file an Uninsured Motorist claim.
2. Call Us: Even if the police never catch the other driver, we can often get your medical bills and car repairs paid through your own “Uninsured Motorist” (UM) policy. Do not assume you are out of luck.

Medical Care Options

If you don’t have health insurance, you might be afraid to go to the doctor.
Don’t worry. Under Florida law, your car insurance (PIP) pays the first $10,000 of medical bills regardless of fault. We can also refer you to doctors in West Orlando who will treat you on a “Letter of Protection” (LOP), meaning they wait to get paid until we win your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

The insurance company offered me $1,000 to sign a paper. Should I take it?

No! That “release” means you can never ask for more money, even if you need surgery later. $1,000 won’t even cover one ER visit. Let us review the offer for free before you sign anything.

Do you speak Spanish / French Creole?

Yes, our firm is fully bilingual (English/Spanish). We understand the diverse community of Pine Hills and can explain every step of the process in the language you are most comfortable with.
