Multi-car crashes in Florida are fast-moving and chaotic, and the results can be devastating injuries. When several vehicles collide, the biggest question injured drivers have is who is responsible? Who will pay for the damages? Florida’s fault rules require investigators, insurance adjusters, and, in some cases, accident reconstruction experts to determine what caused the crash and which drivers contributed.

Florida’s comparative negligence system (Florida Statute Section 768.81) limits recovery for drivers who are deemed more than 50 percent at fault for the accident. Further, because Florida has shortened its statute of limitations and liability can be shared among multiple parties, it is important for you to understand how responsibility is determined and how to protect your legal rights following a multi-vehicle collision. An experienced Orlando, FL car accident attorney can help you determine liability and guide you through the recovery process.

A recent death at Universal’s Epic Universe (on the Stardust Racers roller coaster) has raised questions regarding how injuries and deaths at Florida’s theme parks are governed. This particular death was ruled accidental, as the rider had pre-existing conditions. The ride was briefly closed for investigation but has since reopened after changes were made to signage and operating procedures.

This incident highlights the fact that many Florida theme parks face an uncomfortable truth: even the most carefully engineered environments can have real-world consequences that go beyond bumps and bruises. Every quarter, the major theme parks in Florida are required to submit self-reported documentation of any guest injuries resulting in at least 24 hours of hospitalization. Unfortunately, what these reports fail to reveal are context and ongoing medical updates.

And, although medical emergencies tied to theme park rides – particularly roller coasters – do occur, fatalities are rare. Intensive scrutiny of ride safety protocols and liability standards for Florida’s theme parks is becoming much more common. If you or a loved one received serious injuries at a Florida theme park, you could benefit from speaking to a highly skilled Kissimmee, FL personal injury attorney.

Recently, a contracted Amazon Flex driver struck a woman and her baby before leaving the scene in NE Miami-Dade. The woman was walking with her infant son in a stroller; when she was more than halfway through the crosswalk, the Amazon driver turned into them, knocking the woman backward onto the pavement and turning the stroller over. The incident, which was caught on camera, showed the driver getting out of her delivery vehicle, setting up the stroller, and placing the baby inside before fleeing the scene of the accident.

The woman suffered a brain bleed, while the baby sustained lacerations. The driver was later arrested and charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident and one count of causing serious bodily injury. Personal injury incidents like this raise the legal question of whether Amazon can be held liable for crashes caused by Flex drivers. Vicarious liability, the independent-contractor doctrine, and Florida negligence laws (Chapter 768 Section 81) intersect in accidents like this.

Not every catastrophic brain injury is immediate or obvious. In Florida, many victims walk away from an auto accident or a fall, diagnosed by a doctor as having a "mild" traumatic brain injury. Weeks or months later, devastating cognitive, emotional, or neurological impairments begin to surface. This is often referred to as an "invisible catastrophe," and these delayed-onset complications can permanently impair an individual’s ability to work, function, or even care for himself or herself.

Yet such a delayed catastrophic injury is frequently misunderstood and often undervalued in personal injury claims. Having an experienced St. Cloud, FL personal injury attorney ensures that you have a strong advocate in your corner who understands statutes of limitations in the state and the nuances of traumatic brain injuries.  

Why the Diagnosis of "Mild" Brain Injury Can Be Misleading

It is important to understand that a diagnosis of "mild" brain injury (like a concussion) is based on initial presentation, not long-term outcome. The diagnosis involves identifying signs like confusion, dizziness, headaches, or memory issues that appear shortly after an impact to the head.

There are numerous reasons why people may be injured at amusement parks. Some of these situations may occur because of negligence by a park or its employees, while others may be caused by other reasons, such as medical issues or unsafe actions by guests. However, any death that occurs at an amusement park is notable, because it may highlight the risks people may face when riding roller coasters or other rides, as well as the potential injuries that can occur because of other safety issues.

A recent death at Disneyland in Anaheim, California raises questions about safety concerns. People who suffer injuries at amusement parks may be unsure about their legal options, especially if they are informed by park personnel or other officials that the situation was unavoidable or that the park was not responsible. By consulting with an attorney who has experience with these types of cases, an injury victim can determine what may be done to address the harm they have suffered.

Families boarding a ferryboat at Walt Disney World expect to arrive at the Magic Kingdom to begin their adventure, not being involved in a crash that sends everyone flying. Yet on July 30, 2025, that is exactly what happened when a ferryboat full of passengers slammed into the Transportation and Ticket Center dock. What should have been a normal ride across the lagoon turned into injuries, chaos, and unanswered questions, sending 19 people to the hospital. The crash occurred late at night, during stormy conditions, creating an impact that left passengers describing the scene as chaotic.

One guest described children slamming into railings, strollers toppling, and human bodies flying through the air. While emergency crews arrived quickly, Disney’s response was not only underwhelming but also non-existent. There was no announcement from the ferry crew either before or after the crash, and no guidance on what to do afterwards. Injured families struggled off the boat, left to fend for themselves basically. Weeks later, Disney still has not issued a public statement regarding the accident.

People who go to amusement parks should be able to expect that they will remain safe on roller coasters and other rides or attractions. Part of the fun of roller coasters is the simulation of danger, but even though these rides can be exciting and even frightening, riders should be protected against being injured or killed. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, which was demonstrated recently when a man was killed on a ride at Universal Orlando Resort.

In cases involving amusement park injuries, the large corporations that operate these parks will often act quickly, using teams of lawyers to try to limit the company’s liability and avoid accountability for the harm suffered by guests. Injury victims and the families of people who have been killed in roller coaster accidents or other situations will need legal representation of their own. A skilled and experienced attorney can help victims take action to hold amusement parks responsible for injuries.

When most of us think of Orlando, we think of oranges, sunshine, and theme parks, and all of those things are indeed found in the city. However, the booming tourism, busy highways, and freight corridors make Orlando a hotspot for large truck collisions as well. Heavy commercial trucks are forced to navigate through daily traffic chaos in the Orlando area, causing a higher-than-normal amount of truck accidents.

These truck accidents frequently occur at the I-4 interchanges, as well as on Semoran Boulevard, Goldenrod Road, Orange Blossom Trail, Curry Ford Road, and Colonial Drive. Florida consistently ranks among the top three U.S. states for fatal truck accidents, alongside California and Texas. The high volume of commercial truck traffic, heavy tourism, and expansive highway systems contribute to the state’s prominent position in these statistics.

Florida’s theme parks draw millions of visitors each year, promising sun, fun, and family memories. But behind the artificial surf and bright waterslides, wave pools can conceal real dangers, particularly when safety protocols break down or supervision fails. For some families, a day at a water park turns into a nightmare when a loved one is injured or killed in a drowning incident.

Wave pools are among the most popular attractions at major theme parks in Orlando and across the state. But they are also uniquely hazardous. Unlike still-water pools or lazy rivers, wave pools generate rapid surges of water that can knock swimmers off their feet, separate children from adults, and mask signs of distress. These risks are often underestimated until it is too late.

Our Orlando, FL personal injury attorneys have extensive experience representing families in drowning and near-drowning cases involving theme parks, resorts, and private facilities. We handle large, complex injury claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay us unless we win. We also offer free consultations to help you understand your options after a tragedy.
