Kissimmee Car Accident Lawyer | US 192 & Tourist Corridor Defense

Driving in Kissimmee is a daily battle. Between the constant construction on John Young Parkway and the unpredictable tourists on US 192 (Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy), local residents are at constant risk. A quick trip to the grocery store can turn into a life-altering crash when a rental car driver makes an illegal U-turn or a distracted tourist runs a red light.

At Juan Burgos Law, we stand up for the locals. We know that when you live in Kissimmee, a wrecked car means you can’t get to work, and an injury puts your family’s finances in jeopardy. We fight the insurance companies—whether it’s a local policy or a complex out-of-state rental agency—to ensure your medical bills and lost wages are fully covered.

The “Tourist Trap” Danger Zones (34741, 34744, 34746)

Kissimmee’s infrastructure is overwhelmed. We frequently investigate severe accidents at these specific hotspots:

1. US 192 (The Tourist Corridor)

This is ground zero for accidents. Drivers looking at GPS instead of the road frequently drift into lanes or slam on brakes suddenly. We handle complex liability cases here involving Hertz, Enterprise, and Avis rental cars.

2. John Young Parkway & Osceola Parkway

This intersection is a major commuter choke point. High speeds on Osceola Parkway meeting the gridlock of John Young leads to violent T-bone collisions. Aggressive driving here is common as people rush to get home to Poinciana or BVL.

3. Simpson Road

As the main artery for residents in Buenaventura Lakes (BVL), Simpson Road sees dangerous head-on collisions and ditch run-offs, especially during the rainy season when visibility is low.

Medical Care: HCA Florida Osceola Hospital

If you are seriously injured, you likely ended up at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital (formerly Osceola Regional) in downtown Kissimmee. It is a Trauma Center.
Critical Warning: Florida’s 14-Day Rule is strict. If you try to “tough it out” and don’t see a doctor within two weeks, you lose your $10,000 PIP benefits. Don’t let pride cost you your coverage. Go to the ER or an Urgent Care immediately.

The Rental Car Nightmare

One of the biggest challenges in Kissimmee is being hit by a tourist.
“They live in another country/state. How do I sue them?”
We handle this daily. We know how to navigate the “Graves Amendment” (which protects rental companies) to find the driver’s personal insurance or the supplemental liability insurance they purchased. We ensure you aren’t left holding the bill just because the at-fault driver flew back home.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hit by a Disney/Universal bus. Can I sue?

Yes, but it is difficult. Theme parks and municipalities have powerful legal teams and specific “Sovereign Immunity” caps if it’s a public bus (Lynx). You need an attorney who knows the specific procedural notice requirements to sue these entities.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for negligence is generally two years. However, evidence like traffic camera footage on US 192 is deleted within days. The sooner you call us, the more evidence we can save.
