You Weren’t Just in a Car Accident. Your Life Was Derailed. Someone Has to Be Accountable.
The crash lasted seconds. The consequences?
They’ve lasted weeks, maybe months.
In Kissimmee, crashes aren’t rare. The roads around Osceola Parkway, U.S. 192, and I-4 have become more congested than ever before. That ten-minute trip to your kid’s soccer game now feels like navigating a game of high-speed roulette.
When another driver’s negligence results in real injury, real trauma, and real loss, it’s not just a case. It’s your entire life, flipped upside down.
Osborne & Francis stands with Kissimmee families during the toughest chapters of their lives. You take care of your health. We'll make sure the right people take responsibility.
“Can’t recommend them enough.”—A Client Story Worth Reading
One of the families we worked with shared this:
“Our son was in a horrific accident a few months ago. Osborne & Francis has been extremely helpful and supportive through the entire process. From day one, helping to handle everything so we could focus on our son’s recovery. Can’t recommend them enough!”
— Celeste M., Verified Client Testimonial
That’s not a review about just winning a case. It’s about showing up—every day—for a family in crisis. That’s how we work with every client we serve here in Kissimmee.

So you've been in a car accident. What happens next? There are many things that you should do but here are the three most important:
Number One: See a doctor immediately.
A broken bone is easy to see, but some injuries are not. The most common injuries from car accidents happen in the neck, back, or head. The only way to diagnose and treat them is by seeing a doctor. A doctor can help ease the pain, provide medication, reassure you of how your injury may impact your daily life, and tell you what not to do to make it worse.
A visit to the doctor can also give you legally protected time off to recover and rest your body after an accident, and it documents and provides the evidence you may need for your case. Even a five-mile-per-hour car accident can cause a serious injury. So whether you've had a severe accident or a minor collision, see a doctor. And if you don't have medical insurance, let us know and we'll make sure that you receive the proper care.
Number Two: Write everything down.
Even if it seems small, during times of stress or injury it is common to forget the little details. Make sure you keep note of the pain that you're in. With neck, back, and head injuries, sometimes simple activities such as walking up the stairs or picking up a toddler may cause severe pain.
You may not be sleeping well at night. Documenting how much you sleep and how often you wake up due to pain is also very important. And lastly, if you have any cuts or bruises, take daily photos as you heal. This will provide visual evidence of the injuries that you've suffered.
Number Three: Do not speak to an insurance company until you've spoken to a lawyer.
Please understand that the insurance adjuster works for a billion-dollar corporation and not for you. Their interests are solely for their insurance company, and their goal is to provide you with the least amount of financial settlement as quickly as possible. When you do speak with them, remember they will record the conversation. Why do they do this? Because they've been trained to ask questions that may confuse you. So talk to us before you talk to them.
So remember: See a doctor, document everything, and call us before calling the insurance company for your free private consultation. We are here for you. Real tough lawyers fighting real tough issues.
Insurance companies love to make car crashes sound like they're temporary inconveniences. But we’ve represented clients who were permanently injured from collisions that totaled less than $1,500 in property damage. We've seen good drivers suffer brain injuries while simply sitting at a red light.
Case Example 1: $7.5 Million Recovered
Our client was stopped at a light after a routine workday. A speeding commercial vehicle slammed into his car with no warning. He was left with multiple brain bleeds, fractures, and lasting damage.
Case Example 2: $985,000 Recovered
A client driving along a Kissimmee highway was sideswiped by an improperly merging vehicle. The medical journey ahead included spinal fusion surgeries—and months of painful recovery.
Never assume your case is “small” just because it looks that way on paper.
VIDEO: What to Do Now—and What to Avoid
One of the most important steps you can take after an accident? Protect the story. And that starts with protecting yourself from the insurance company.
Watch Kissimmee car accident lawyer Greg Francis explain what to do after a crash:
Common Mistakes After a Crash That Can Cost You
You’re tired. Sore. Overwhelmed. But if you accidentally say the wrong thing, sign something too early, or trust an adjuster “just trying to help,” you could compromise everything.
DO NOT give a recorded statement.
These statements are used to twist your words.
Insurance reps ask leading questions designed to trip you up.
You're not legally required to talk to the other person’s insurer.
It’s best to say: “I’m currently getting legal advice and will have my attorney follow up with you.”
Let a Kissimmee auto accident attorney from Osborne & Francis speak for you, so you don’t lose ground before your case is even built.
Not sure what you already said to the insurance company? It’s okay. Let’s talk through it.

What to Expect During a Kissimmee Car Accident Claim
When you’re injured in a serious car crash, it’s not just about filing a claim—it’s about protecting your life and your future. Many people don’t file right away because they’re overwhelmed or unsure of what to expect. That’s why we've designed our process to be clear, smart, and stress-free.
Here's what working with a Kissimmee car accident lawyer at Osborne & Francis looks like:
Step One: Your Free Consultation
We start with a conversation. You’ll tell us what happened, what concerns you most, and where you’re at with the insurance process. We’ll explain your rights and options.
"We treat every single consultation with respect, whether the crash happened yesterday or three months ago.”— Greg Francis | Founding Partner, Osborne & Francis
Step Two: We Start Investigating
We begin gathering evidence right away, including:
Police and traffic camera reports,
Photos and scene reconstructions,
Interviews with witnesses or business owners nearby, and
All relevant insurance policies (both yours and the negligent party’s).
Once we understand the full scope of your losses, we present a demand to the insurance company that reflects what your case is truly worth, not just what they hope you’ll accept.
Insurers scrutinize every dollar. We make sure they answer for every consequence of your crash.
Step Five: We Press Hard, Even If That Means Court
If the insurance company refuses to act in good faith or drags their feet, we pursue litigation. Our Kissimmee car accident lawyers have extensive trial experience across Florida, including Central Florida civil courts.
Many firms aim to avoid court. We prepare for it from day one, because serious cases demand serious advocacy.
Timeline, Trauma and Truth: What Makes a Strong Car Accident Claim?
Building a claim isn’t just about what happened at the crash scene—it’s about what happened after:
Did you miss work?
Are you now limited physically?
Has your anxiety spiked every time you get in a car?
Are you juggling physical therapy with trying to keep your family stable financially?
At Osborne & Francis, we don’t reduce your pain to a number. We investigate everything your injury has touched, from your physical abilities to your emotional well-being.
Martindale-Nolo found that people who worked with an injury lawyer averagedthree times more compensation than those who filed alone. Why? Evidence. Strategy. Pressure. Results.
We bring all of that to your case.
Kissimmee's Car Accident Injury Crisis: Is It Getting Worse?
Kissimmee is growing fast. But not everyone drives like they care about that. High-speed chases to theme parks. Road rage during rush hour. Distracted driving through school zones.
At Osborne & Francis, we’ve seen the hidden cost behind Central Florida’s rapid growth. A few collision hot spots we’ve dealt with include:
Osceola Parkway & Michigan Avenue,
W. Vine Street near John Young Parkway,
I-4 & U.S. 192 Merge Zone, and
Poinciana Blvd Corridors.
We stay up-to-date on crash trends, municipal liability, road signage issues, and local law enforcement patterns to tell your side of the story more effectively.
Why Local Representation Matters in a Kissimmee Crash Case
Injury law firms in Florida are everywhere, but not every lawyer understands the nuances of how a Kissimmee car accident case works. We do, because we live and work here.
Here’s what local insight offers our clients:
Stronger Evidence Through Familiarity
We know how and where to find traffic footage in certain areas around Osceola Parkway, 192, and John Young Pkwy, and we move fast before it disappears.
Connections with Central Florida Experts
From local accident reconstructionists to vocational experts who’ve testified in Osceola County courts, our relationships mean added strength for your case, especially if it progresses to litigation.
Understanding of Local Court Expectations
We’re experienced in Central Florida’s legal ecosystem, including which judges expect pre-filing mediation and what types of arguments are most persuasive to decision makers here.
Culturally Sensitive and Community-Aware
Kissimmee is diverse, and we honor that. We represent working families, theme park employees, retirees, tourists, and locals who speak a variety of languages and have different needs.
Whether you live in Buenaventura Lakes, The Loop area, or on the edge of Celebration, we know how to meet you where you are.
In short: When you're up against national insurers or major corporate legal teams, local experience matters more than ever.
"We’re Real, Tough Lawyers Fighting Real, Tough Issues." — What That Means for You
At Osborne & Francis, we fight for the injured because we believe Florida’s roads (and legal system) should work for regular people, not just corporations and insurers. That means:
We don’t settle low.
We don’t coast through the legal process.
We don’t let insurers redefine what “serious injury” means.
What we do is this:
Prioritize YOU—not just a quick payout,
Go to trial if we’re not offered full value,
Support you through the full legal and emotional process, and
Change policy when the system fails to protect people.
As Kissimmee auto accident lawyer Joseph Osborne says:
“We’re not afraid to call out unfairness, whether it comes from a billion-dollar insurer or a broken policy. Our clients deserve nothing less.”

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
Erica F.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ | Osborne & Francis: Kissimmee Car Accident
How much is my case worth?
Each case is unique. The value depends on severity of injury, duration of recovery, and long-term impact. A Kissimme car accident attorney will assess all of that in your consultation.
I was partially at fault. Do I still have a case?
Florida’s modified comparative negligence law still allows recovery, as long as you’re not found more than 50% at fault. We’ll handle insurance arguments designed to pin more blame on you than you deserve.
How long do I have to sue?
Florida now has a 2-year statute of limitations for injury claims. The earlier you reach out to a Kissimmee car accident attorney, the easier it is to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Do I need to see a doctor even if I feel okay after the car crash?
Yes. Some injuries (like whiplash, concussions, or soft tissue damage) don’t show obvious symptoms at first but can worsen significantly over time. Without early medical documentation, insurance companies may argue you weren’t really injured, or that something else caused your symptoms later.
