About Orlando

Located in central Florida, the Orlando area is best known as the home of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World. But, Orlando also has much more to offer. It has several bustling residential communities, and many different types of businesses call this beautiful city home.

While Orlando is many travelers’ final destination, Interstate 4 and the city’s other major highways see a lot of through traffic as well. As the city continues to grow, congestion is becoming a bigger issue—and this means accidents are becoming a bigger issue as well. But, Orlando is still a great place to visit or live; and, from local restaurants to museums and the Orlando Science Center, there is plenty to do without straying too far from your home or hotel room.

FAQs: Seeking Financial Compensation for a Serious Injury or Fatal Accident in Orlando

How Does Florida’s “No-Fault” Insurance Law Impact Car Accident Cases in Orlando?

Under Florida’s “no-fault” insurance law, Florida residents who have personal injury protection (PIP) coverage are required to use this coverage when they get injured in a collision. In addition, Florida residents can only use this coverage unless they can prove that they suffered a “significant” or “permanent” injury.

Since you can exhaust your PIP coverage pretty quickly after a serious car accident, it is important to work with an experienced lawyer who can determine if any of your injuries qualify as “significant” or “permanent.” Additionally, many car accidents in the Orlando area involve rental cars, and these cases present some unique issues for both in-state and out-of-state residents. At Searcy Denney, our Orlando lawyers are intimately familiar with these issues, and we can help you seek the maximum compensation available.

Can I File a Claim if I Fell at a Theme Park in Orlando?

Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents are common causes of injury at Orlando’s theme parks. If you were injured in a fall (or if your child or spouse was injured in a fall), you may be entitled to financial compensation. Our lawyers will need to investigate the cause of the accident in order to assess your legal rights. Then, once we have evidence of what happened, we can determine what claim (or claims) you can file. We handle claims involving falls and other accidents at all theme parks in Orlando.

How Do I Pursue a Claim for a Product Defect in Orlando?

From toys and playground equipment to tools, vehicle components and medical devices, all types of products can suffer from defects. If you believe that you may have a product defect claim in Orlando, you will need to consult with a lawyer promptly. At Searcy Denney, we have extensive experience handling product liability cases involving all types of dangerous and defective products. We can determine if you have a claim against the manufacturer or another company; and, if you do, we can pursue your claim on your behalf.

Should I Hire a Lawyer in Orlando if I Got Injured While Visiting from Out of Town?

Yes, if you got injured in Orlando, you will want to hire a local lawyer to represent you. You need a lawyer who is familiar with the local area and who can represent you in the local courts if necessary. At Searcy Denney, we work with clients nationwide. If you need to pursue a claim for a rental car accident, amusement park accident, swimming pool accident or any other type of accident in Orlando, we can represent you remotely, and we can use our experience to help you through the recovery process.
