Orlando Stop Sign Accident Lawyer

Stop sign accidents are among the most common yet preventable types of collisions in Florida. When drivers ignore traffic signals, roll through intersections, or fail to yield properly, the results can be devastating. Victims often suffer serious injuries that disrupt their lives and lead to costly medical bills and time away from work. If you were injured in one of these crashes, an experienced Orlando stop sign accident lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue full compensation.

Understanding Stop Sign Accidents in Orlando

Stop sign collisions often happen because of inattention, speeding, or aggressive driving. Intersections in residential neighborhoods and busy commercial areas throughout Orlando see a high number of these crashes. Many involve side-impact or T-bone collisions, which can cause significant harm to passengers. Spencer Morgan Law understands how these accidents occur and how to prove fault in complex intersection cases.

Common Causes of Stop Sign Accidents

• Failing to come to a complete stop
• Distracted driving, such as texting or talking on the phone
• Misjudging another vehicle’s speed or distance
• Rolling through stop signs instead of stopping fully
• Impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs
• Poorly marked or obstructed intersections

Our firm investigates every detail of your case, reviewing police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements to build strong evidence of negligence.

Steps to Take After a Stop Sign Accident

1. Call 911 and request medical assistance if anyone is hurt.
2. Report the accident to law enforcement and ensure a police report is filed.
3. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver.
4. Take photos of vehicle damage, the intersection, and visible injuries.
5. Gather contact information from witnesses.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law before speaking with insurance adjusters.

Common Injuries from Stop Sign Collisions

Stop sign accidents often occur at high speeds and from unexpected angles, leading to severe injuries such as:

• Whiplash and soft tissue damage

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the other driver claims I ran the stop sign too?

Florida’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, though your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How long do I have to file a stop sign accident claim in Florida?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Do I need an attorney if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

Yes. Insurers often offer quick settlements that undervalue your claim. An attorney can assess whether the offer truly covers your damages.

Can poor intersection design contribute to stop sign accidents?

Yes. In some cases, local municipalities or property owners may be partially liable for unsafe road design or obstructed visibility.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win compensation for you.
