Spetsas Buist handles a wide range of personal injury claims for residents of Ocoee and visitors to the area. Below are some of the case types our attorneys handle most frequently.
Car Accidents
Ocoee’s location at the crossroads of SR 50, Clarke Road, and the Western Beltway (SR 429) means heavy traffic and frequent collisions. Our car accident attorneys investigate crashes, deal with insurance companies, and fight for full compensation on behalf of drivers, passengers, and other victims.

Our amusement park accident lawyers hold parks and operators accountable when negligence leads to harm.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks regularly travel Florida’s Turnpike and SR 50 through the Ocoee corridor. Collisions involving tractor-trailers and delivery vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries. Our truck accident lawyers understand the federal and state regulations that apply to these cases.

Motorcyclists on Ocoee’s roads are especially vulnerable to distracted and careless drivers. Our motorcycle accident attorneys advocate for riders who have suffered serious injuries due to another motorist’s negligence.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft vehicles are common throughout Ocoee and western Orange County. When a rideshare trip ends in a collision, determining liability and navigating the insurance process can be complicated. Our rideshare accident attorneys help victims understand their options and pursue fair compensation.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists riding along West Colonial Drive, Ocoee–Apopka Road, and the West Orange Trail face risks from inattentive motorists. Our bicycle accident lawyers fight for the rights of injured cyclists and their families.

Wrongful Death
When a loved one’s life is cut short because of another party’s negligence, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. Our wrongful death attorneys guide families through this difficult process with compassion and determination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Florida’s statute of limitations generally allows two years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to pursue compensation, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury claim?
You are not required to hire a lawyer, but insurance companies routinely try to minimize or deny claims. An experienced personal injury attorney understands how to investigate your case, calculate the full value of your damages, and negotiate effectively on your behalf.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. You can still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault for the accident. However, your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys build strong evidence to minimize any fault attributed to you.
