Union Park Car Accident Claims
If your crash involved Union Park, the practical steps usually run through Orange County and Florida agencies rather than a separate city system. Union Park is a census-designated place in Orange County with a population of 10,452, so the responding agency, the court, and even which page is most useful often depend on where the crash happened, not just where you live.

County systems matter more than the Union Park label
Union Park is a census-designated place, not a separate city court or police system, so most claim logistics point to county or state bodies. In practice, that often means the Orange County Sheriff's Office for local law-enforcement response and the Circuit Court for Orange County or Orange County Court if a lawsuit is filed. Florida Highway Patrol may also be the investigating agency, especially when the crash happened on a state road or larger corridor.
For many Union Park residents, the harder question is not where you live but where the crash happened. If you were injured while commuting across Orange County, the claim is usually tied to the crash location and the investigating agency for that roadway, not your Union Park address. That matters in a county with 25,415 total crashes and 19,493 injury crashes in 2024, according to Florida Health CHARTS using Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles records, and with major travel corridors such as Colonial Drive (SR 50) and I-4 through Orlando appearing in the county crash profile.
The same county-wide approach applies to records and next steps. Florida crash reports are confidential for 60 days after filing except for the people and entities allowed by statute, and the report request process runs through FLHSMV. If your crash was in another part of Orange County rather than inside Union Park itself, the county agencies and court structure still matter more than the neighborhood name; the state-law sections below cover the broader Florida deadlines and fault rules.
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%.
