From Disney World and Universal Studios to Seaworld, the Orlando area is filled to the brim with some of the nation’s top tourist attractions. Unfortunately, an influx of tourists can also lead to an uptick in accidents and injuries.

Examples of Negligence in Accidents Involving Tourists in Orlando
Although any increase in drivers on the road can lead to accidents, tourists can bring unique challenges to Orlando’s roads. A few examples of negligence in accidents involving tourists include the following:
- Unfamiliarity With Local Roads: Visitors may struggle to navigate Florida’s distinctive set of traffic rules, signs, and road conditions, potentially causing confusion and errors behind the wheel.
- Distracted Driving: Tourists could be more prone to diverting their attention from the road to consult the GPS on their phones or others in the vehicle for directions. Additionally, passengers drawing attention to sights or taking photos may lead to further distractions for the driver.
- Aggressive Driving: Faced with tight schedules or the eagerness to explore Orlando’s attractions, tourists may exhibit more assertive driving habits compared to local drivers. This behavior can manifest as following too closely, exceeding speed limits, and abrupt lane changes.
- Complications With Rental Vehicles: Often, visitors to Orlando choose to rent a vehicle. These cars, unfamiliar to the driver, may handle differently than their personal vehicle. Rental cars also may not be thoroughly maintained or inspected for safety concerns prior to being picked up.
This is only a partial list, and there are many ways a tourist may act negligently and cause an accident. When you partner with our firm, we will analyze every detail of your case to determine the cause of your accident and the party responsible for your losses.
