St. Cloud Car Accident Lawyer | Narcoossee & 192 Defense

St. Cloud has transformed from a quiet historic town into one of the fastest-growing communities in Central Florida. But this explosive growth has come at a cost. Roads like Narcoossee Road and US 192 (13th Street) are now choked with construction traffic, aggressive commuters rushing to Lake Nona, and confused new residents. The infrastructure simply hasn’t kept up, and local families are paying the price in dangerous collisions.

At Juan Burgos Law, we are dedicated to protecting the residents of St. Cloud. Whether you were rear-ended in a construction zone or T-boned at a busy intersection near the Lakefront, we provide the aggressive legal defense you need. We fight to ensure that the reckless drivers and negligent construction companies pay for the disruption they’ve caused to your life.

High-Risk Corridors in St. Cloud (34769, 34771, 34772)

We see distinct patterns in where negligence occurs in St. Cloud. Our firm handles cases across the city, with a focus on:

1. Narcoossee Road (The Construction Gauntlet)

This is arguably the most dangerous road in the area. Constant lane shifts, uneven pavement, and sudden stops due to construction lead to severe accidents. Drivers speeding to get to the 417 often fail to notice traffic slowing down, causing multi-car pileups.

2. US 192 (13th Street)

As the main east-west artery, 192 sees high-speed traffic mixed with locals turning into businesses. “Failure to Yield” accidents are common here, especially near Vermont Avenue and Eastern Avenue, where visibility can be poor.

3. Old Canoe Creek Road

This once-rural road is now a major commuter route. It is narrow, often lacks shoulders, and has deep ditches. Distracted drivers drifting over the center line cause terrifying head-on collisions or run-off-the-road accidents.

Medical Care: Orlando Health St. Cloud

If you are injured, you will likely be taken to Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital.
Legal Strategy: Even if your injuries seem minor at the scene, adrenaline can mask pain. You must see a doctor within 14 days to trigger your $10,000 PIP benefits. If you wait because you “don’t like doctors” or “can’t miss work,” you are literally throwing away money that is meant for your recovery.

Construction Zone Accidents

Accidents in construction zones (like those on Narcoossee) are legally complex.
If you were hit in a work zone, there may be multiple liable parties: the other driver, the construction company (if they left debris on the road), or the city (if signage was improper). We investigate every angle. Did the construction barriers block visibility? Was there confusing signage? We find out.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hit by a driver with no license. Can I still get paid?

Yes. This is unfortunately common. If you have Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, we file a claim against your own policy. We also check if the owner of the vehicle (if different from the driver) has insurance that covers the crash.

What if the accident happened on a dirt road?

St. Cloud still has many unpaved roads in the rural south. Insurance companies sometimes try to argue that these roads are “off-road” or not covered. We know the law—if it is a public right-of-way, your standard auto insurance applies. We don’t let them deny valid claims.
