Car Accidents in Kissimmee, FL

The Kissimmee Police Department works crashes inside the city, and the Osceola County Sheriff's Office covers the rest of the county, including much of the US-192 corridor outside the city limits. Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-4 and the Turnpike. The report goes to FLHSMV, and you can request a copy there or from the agency that responded.

The Osceola County Courthouse in Kissimmee, which sits in the Ninth Judicial Circuit along with Orange County. A crash a few miles north on US-192 or I-4 can land in Orange instead, same circuit, different courthouse. County court takes smaller civil claims and circuit court the larger ones, and which applies depends on the amount. That's a lawyer's question. We are not a law firm.

It depends on what the vehicle was doing at the time. A rideshare driver waiting for a request, driving toward a passenger, and carrying a passenger are three different insurance situations under Florida's rules. A hotel shuttle is usually a commercial vehicle with a commercial policy. Your own PIP may still pay first. Screenshot the trip in the app before anything else.

In Florida, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Reduced from 4 to 2 years by HB 837 (2023). Wrongful death 2 years. Medical 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
