Where Crashes Happen in Kissimmee

• US 192, called Vine Street in Kissimmee and Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway along most of its route, is the main east–west road and a major tourist strip leading to the Walt Disney World area. Hotels, restaurants and shopping centers mean constant turning traffic, pedestrians and unfamiliar drivers.
• Florida's Turnpike and nearby I-4 carry commuters and visitors between Kissimmee, Orlando and the rest of the state.
• Osceola Parkway and John Young Parkway connect neighborhoods to Orlando and the theme parks.
• Orange Blossom Trail, where US 17/92 and US 441 run together, carries local traffic, trucks and buses.

Kissimmee's SunRail commuter station and the LYNX bus terminal also bring pedestrians and transit riders onto busy streets near downtown.

Crashes With Tourists and Rental Cars

Many drivers in Kissimmee are visitors who don't know the roads, are reading GPS directions or are tired after a long trip. When the at-fault driver is from another state or country, or is driving a rental car, the claim can involve out-of-state insurance, rental company coverage and drivers who leave Florida soon after the crash. That makes it even more important to get the police report, photos and the other driver's insurance information at the scene, and to act quickly.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Kissimmee

1. Call 911 if anyone is hurt and ask for the crash report number. Depending on where the crash happened, the Kissimmee Police Department, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office or the Florida Highway Patrol may respond.
2. Get medical care right away. To use your PIP benefits, Florida generally requires medical care within 14 days of the crash; every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm what applies to you.
3. Photograph the vehicles, plates, the scene and your injuries.
4. Get the other driver's name, insurance, license and, for rental cars, the rental company information.
5. Get names and phone numbers of witnesses.
6. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before getting advice.

Florida Rules That Affect Your Claim

• PIP comes firstYour own personal injury protection generally pays 80% of reasonable medical bills and 60% of lost income, up to $10,000, regardless of fault.
• The injury thresholdTo recover pain and suffering from the at-fault driver, your injury generally must meet Florida's legal threshold, such as a permanent injury.
• Shared faultSince March 24, 2023, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and a person more than 50% at fault generally recovers nothing.
• DeadlineFor most crashes after March 24, 2023, Florida generally allows 2 years to file a negligence lawsuit. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.
