AUTO ACCIDENTS
Auto Accident Attorney Orlando — Fighting for Injury Victims
If you've been hurt in a crash on Orlando's roads, you need an experienced auto accident attorney Orlando in your corner. Frick Law has spent over 15 years representing injured drivers, passengers, and pedestrians throughout Central Florida — going up against insurance companies that try to minimize or deny your claim.
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance covers initial medical costs — but when injuries are serious, you have the right to step outside the no-fault system and pursue full compensation from the at-fault driver. Frick Law knows exactly when and how to make that move to maximize your recovery.
From rear-end collisions on I-4 to T-bone crashes at busy Orlando intersections, every accident is different — and so is every claim. Frick Law gives your case the personalized, aggressive attention it deserves.

Auto Accident FAQ — Orlando, Florida
Driving on Florida’s roads is no stroll in the park. Central Florida has some of the most dangerous freeways in the state. A traffic accident on your daily commute could change your life in an instant. Despite all of the safety features installed on cars today, the high-speed physics of traffic collisions means you could be facing catastrophic injuries.
If a traffic accident is not your fault, you should not have to pay for someone else’s negligence. You should speak to a lawyer as soon as possible after a traffic accident, especially if you’ve suffered injuries. The attorneys at The Frick Law Firm can help you get the medical treatment you need to recover and hold the guilty party responsible for your losses.
The damages you recover in a personal injury claim could cover your medical bills, any income you lose from being unable to work, and any pain and suffering you’ve experienced. If you’ve lost a loved one to a traffic accident in Florida, you can file a claim for wrongful death or a survivor’s action. A lawyer can help you assess your options
Types of Accidents We Handle
Every vehicle on the road carries different risks and regulations. Frick Law has the experience to investigate, negotiate, and litigate the specific complexities of your crash.
Truck Accidents
Because trucks tend to be so massive in comparison to passenger vehicles, they have a sizable advantage in accidents. Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and big rigs usually weigh significantly more than other cars.
Trucking companies are responsible for the actions of their drivers while they're in the course of their job duties. Trucks can become hazards to other drivers when they take routes not approved for trucks, violate hours of service requirements, or exceed load and weight limits.
At Frick Law, we take on the trucking companies to get you the justice you deserve. You can leave the legal issues to us while you focus on your recovery.
Bus Accidents
Bus drivers may be working long hours or driving tired, especially if there are staff shortages. While local city buses may travel at slower speeds, others can travel just as fast as regular traffic.
If you're a passenger in a bus crash, you may suffer severe injuries such as broken bones, cuts, whiplash, head injury, and spinal cord injury. This is especially true if you're on a bus without passenger seatbelts.
The attorneys at Frick Law can help you determine who was at fault in your accident and hold them responsible for your damages.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles and can be difficult for other drivers to see in their blind spots. You could do everything right on your motorcycle but another driver's carelessness can still cause a crash.
With no seatbelts or walls to protect you, you could suffer catastrophic injuries including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), amputation, or paralysis.
If someone else's negligent driving caused your injuries, you should not be the one left to foot the bill. A personal injury claim can help you get the compensation you need to heal and move forward with your life.
Uber, Lyft & Rideshare Accidents
Both Lyft and Uber carry insurance to cover passengers who get injured in their vehicles. But drivers for both companies must also carry their own insurance.
To make matters even more complicated, it can be hard to get anyone on the phone at either company to discuss your claims. If another driver was at fault in the crash, you may have to talk to their insurance.
At Frick Law, you can leave this to us. We take care of this process for you. We talk to the right insurance companies on your behalf so you don't have to deal with them.
Bicycle Accidents
In a collision between a bicycle and a car, the car usually has the advantage. Despite wearing a helmet and proper visibility gear, cyclists are often at the mercy of the drivers around them.
An injury from a bicycle accident could leave you needing extensive medical treatment. Your injuries could make you unable to work. Your bicycle might also be destroyed in the accident.
The accident attorneys at Frick Law are here to stand up for bicyclists and their rights. A legal claim could help you recover compensation for your losses including medical bills, lost income, and property damage.
Pedestrian Accidents
Any vehicle traveling over 20 miles per hour can cause catastrophic injury to unprotected pedestrians. Broken or shattered bones, spinal injuries, internal organ injuries, head injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are common.
Speeding, careless driving, failing to signal, and DUI can all cause accidents where drivers fail to notice or yield to pedestrians. Insurance companies may try to deny claims by blaming pedestrians for running out into traffic.
At Frick Law, we keep you in the loop and always proceed with your goals in mind to help you put fault where it belongs and get you the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Florida's "Serious Injury" Threshold — When You Can Sue Outside No-Fault
Florida's no-fault PIP system covers your initial medical bills regardless of who caused the crash. But PIP only pays up to $10,000 — and serious accident injuries routinely cost far more. To pursue the at-fault driver for full compensation (including pain and suffering), your injuries must meet Florida's "serious injury" threshold under Florida Statute §627.737.
What Qualifies as a "Serious Injury" Under Florida Law
Florida Statute §627.737 defines the threshold for stepping outside no-fault as:
- • Significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function — for example, permanent limited range of motion in the spine or a joint.
- • Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability — documented by a physician, not merely claimed. See how Frick Law handles cases where injuries are disputed by medical providers.
- • Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement — visible, lasting cosmetic injury.
- • Death — which gives the family the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
Why This Distinction Matters for Your Claim
Insurance adjusters know the threshold inside out — and they use it to deny claims. They will argue your injuries don't qualify even when they do. A soft tissue injury that an adjuster dismisses as "minor" can meet the threshold if properly documented with MRI findings, specialist testimony, and a physician's opinion that the injury is permanent.
Frick Law builds every auto accident file with the threshold in mind from day one — because the decisions you make in the first weeks after a crash determine whether you can access full compensation or get capped at $10,000 in PIP. If you were hit by a commercial vehicle, rideshare driver, or delivery truck — the stakes are even higher.
You must seek medical treatment within 14 days of your accident to preserve your PIP benefits under Florida law. Miss that window and you forfeit up to $10,000 in coverage you've already paid for.
What Makes Frick Law Different from General Practice Attorneys
When an insurance company's defense team evaluates your case, they also evaluate your attorney. A general practice lawyer — one who handles divorces, DUIs, and the occasional fender-bender — sends a clear signal to the insurer: we can lowball this claim and wait them out.
Frick Law knows the internal decision tree that adjusters use — and we structure every demand and every case with that knowledge in mind. We've sat in the room where offers get approved or denied.
With 20 years of personal injury experience, 100+ statewide hearings attended, and a published book on injury litigation strategy, Frick Law doesn't just occasionally handle car accident cases. We focus strictly on personal injury law, full stop. Insurance companies in Central Florida know the difference, and that reputation directly affects the quality of offers our clients receive.
