Why Orlando Injury Cases Require Experienced Counsel
Orlando is one of the most visited cities in the world — and that volume of tourists, traffic, and commercial activity creates unique injury risks. I-4 is consistently ranked among the most dangerous highways in the United States. Theme parks, hotels, and entertainment venues attract millions of visitors while managing complex premises liability exposure.
Cases in Orlando are filed in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court at the Orange County Courthouse. Insurance companies assign experienced defense teams to Orange County cases — you need an equally experienced advocate fighting for you.
Our Orlando office at 4700 Milenia Blvd puts us in the heart of Central Florida. We also come to you — at home, at the hospital, or wherever is most convenient.

Common Injury Scenarios in Orlando
I-4 & Highway Accidents
Interstate 4 through Orlando is one of the deadliest highways in America. High-speed crashes, distracted drivers, and heavy commercial truck traffic make I-4, the Florida Turnpike, and SR-528 (Beachline Expressway) dangerous corridors. We handle all motor vehicle accident claims in Orange County.
Theme Park & Tourist Attraction Injuries
Orlando's theme parks and attractions draw tens of millions of visitors each year. Slip and falls, ride malfunctions, inadequate security, and negligent supervision can all give rise to premises liability claims. These operators have experienced legal teams — so do we.
Hotel & Resort Injuries
Orlando's International Drive corridor and Lake Buena Vista area are packed with hotels and resorts. Wet pool decks, broken stairwells, inadequate lighting, and negligent security are common causes of serious injuries at these properties.
Rideshare & Uber/Lyft Accidents
Rideshare traffic is heavy throughout Orlando — especially near the airport, convention center, and theme park corridors. Rideshare accident claims involve complex insurance coverage rules. We know how to navigate them.
Negligent Security
Orlando's entertainment venues, nightclubs, apartment complexes, and parking garages have a duty to provide adequate security. When they fail and someone is assaulted or harmed, the property owner can be held liable.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one dies because of someone else's negligence in Orlando, Florida's Wrongful Death Act allows surviving family members to seek compensation. We handle wrongful death cases with the care and urgency they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions — Orlando Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Orlando?
Most personal injury claims in Orlando have a 4-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident (§95.11(3)(a)). Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years of the date of death. Medical malpractice has a 2-year discovery rule with a 4-year absolute repose. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim.
Can I recover if I was injured at a theme park or hotel in Orlando?
Yes. Theme parks, hotels, and tourist attractions have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. If you were injured due to a dangerous condition, inadequate maintenance, or negligent security, you may have a premises liability claim. These operators have experienced legal teams — Juan Cordero Lawyers has the experience to fight back.
Does Florida's no-fault law affect my Orlando car accident claim?
Yes. Florida requires all drivers to carry PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance covering 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages up to $10,000, regardless of fault. To sue the at-fault driver for additional damages including pain and suffering, your injuries must meet Florida's serious injury threshold — permanent injury, significant scarring, or death.
Do I need to come to your office in person?
No. If you can't travel, we can handle your entire consultation and case intake by phone or video. Our Orlando office at 4700 Milenia Blvd is available for in-person meetings, but we also come to you — at home, at the hospital, or wherever is most convenient.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault for my Orlando accident?
Under Florida's modified comparative fault law (effective 2023), you can recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover. An attorney can help minimize the fault attributed to you.
