Motor Vehicle Accidents, Car Wrecks, and Personal Injury in Orlando

2 minute read

Orlando, known for its world-famous theme parks and rapidly growing population, faces significant traffic challenges [1]. In 2023, Orange County reported over 26,000 motor vehicle crashes, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles with nearly 200 fatalities [2]. In 2025, Orange County has reported over 10,000 crashes with over 60 fatalities so far this year [3]. The region’s mix of locals, tourists, and commercial vehicles creates a perfect storm for frequent and sometimes severe collisions.

Why are there so many accidents?

High-traffic roadways like I-4, SR 408, and US 17 are common sites of congestion and car accidents [4]. Orlando has repeatedly been ranked as one of the most dangerous metro areas for pedestrians, with many crashes occurring near downtown and the tourist corridor near International Drive and Lake Buena Vista [5].

Frequent causes of crashes in Orlando include distracted driving, particularly GPS-related among tourists, rear-end collisions during stop-and-go traffic, driving under the influence, and speeding or abrupt lane changes on I-4 [6]. These factors contribute to the city’s high accident rate, especially in areas with heavy traffic and tourism.

Orlando is also a participant in Florida’s Vision Zero initiative to reduce traffic deaths. However, despite ongoing infrastructure improvements, accident rates remain high—particularly in tourist-heavy areas and during peak travel seasons.

What to do After an Accident in Florida [7]:

  1. Prioritize safety; move your vehicle if safe to do so
  2. Call 911 for medical and police assistance
  3. Take photos of the scene and your injuries
  4. Exchange contact and insurance information
  5. Submit appropriate crash report if needed
  6. Seek medical care immediately
