Why would an Orange County court handle my case instead of a Conway court?

Conway is a census-designated place in Orange County, and the court listings for this area are the Circuit Court for Orange County and Orange County Court. In practice, that means court filing goes through the county court system rather than a separate Conway court.

I live in Conway but was injured on I-4 in Orlando. Does the Conway page still apply?

Only partly. Where you live does not control the claim location; where the crash happened matters more. If the crash was on I-4 through Orlando, the roadway, responding agency, witnesses, and court issues may line up more with that crash location than with Conway.

What if my crash happened on Colonial Drive or Orange Blossom Trail outside Conway?

Those are countywide corridors identified in the Orange County crash data, and a crash there may be better analyzed based on that roadway and the exact jurisdiction. The Conway page is most useful for understanding that Orange County systems govern much of the process.

How do I get the crash report after a Conway-area collision?

Florida uses the statewide crash-report portal listed here: https://www.flhsmv.gov/traffic-crash-reports/. The data for this page also notes that Florida crash reports are confidential for 60 days after filing, with limited access during that period.

What matters for a Conway claim

Conway is a small Orange County census-designated place with a population of 13,596 spread across 3.312 square miles, so most of the systems that matter after a crash are county-run rather than municipal. That usually means dealing with the Orange County Sheriff's Office for local law-enforcement issues, the Florida Highway Patrol for some roadway crashes, and obtaining the report through Florida's statewide crash-report portal at https://www.flhsmv.gov/traffic-crash-reports/.

If your injuries came from a commute crash, the key question is where the crash happened, not where you live. A Conway resident hurt on I-4 through Orlando, Colonial Drive (SR 50), International Drive, or Orange Blossom Trail (US 441) may have a claim tied more closely to that crash location and investigating agency than to Conway itself. In 2024, Orange County recorded 25,415 total crashes and 19,493 injury crashes, according to Florida Health CHARTS using Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles records, which is one reason location and roadway details matter so much here.

If a lawsuit has to be filed, the court is usually an Orange County court, not a Conway court. The structured court system listed for this area includes the Circuit Court for Orange County and Orange County Court. Also keep in mind that Florida crash reports are confidential for 60 days after filing, with limited release during that period to people such as parties, attorneys, insurers, and others named by statute, so getting the right report and confirming the correct jurisdiction early can save time.

Florida law

How fault is allocated in Florida

Florida follows modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar. Below that line your recovery is reduced in proportion to your fault. Above it, you recover nothing at all, which makes the fault allocation the central dispute in most contested claims.

As an example, a $100,000 claim in which you are found 20% responsible would yield $80,000. The same claim with 51% responsibility attributed to you would yield nothing, because Florida bars recovery above 50%.
