Fort Myers, FL · Lee County
Fort Myers Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer
A lot of Fort Myers Uber and Lyft trips start or end at Southwest Florida International Airport off Daniels Parkway, or run out to Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel. When one of those rides crashes, the driver's own policy, the rideshare company's coverage, and the other driver's insurer all point at each other. We establish which coverage was live at that moment.
Our office is in downtown Orlando, at 450 S Orange Ave, 3rd Floor, Orlando, FL 32801. We take cases in Fort Myers and throughout the state of Florida, and your free consultation can happen by phone.

Injured in Fort Myers
The recurring conflict points in Fort Myers are where interstate speed meets local traffic. I-75 feeds Daniels Parkway, Colonial Boulevard, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and the Colonial Boulevard exit is now a diverging diamond that is unfamiliar to many drivers. US-41 (Cleveland Avenue) backs up at Colonial Boulevard beside Edison Mall and at Daniels Parkway. The seriously injured go to Lee Health Gulf Coast Medical Center, the county's Level II trauma center. Lee County suits are filed at the Lee County Justice Center in downtown Fort Myers.
Interstate speed meets local traffic at the Daniels Parkway, Colonial Boulevard (State Road 884), and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (State Road 82) interchanges. FDOT rebuilt the Colonial Boulevard exit as a diverging diamond, a layout that briefly shifts traffic to the opposite side of the road and is unfamiliar to many drivers.
The city's main north-south commercial spine. Turning conflicts recur at the Colonial Boulevard interchange beside Edison Mall, at Winkler Avenue, and at Daniels Parkway near the Bell Tower Shops.
A main east-west artery running from US-41 past Fowler Street and Metro Parkway to I-75 and a short stretch beyond. It now uses a continuous flow intersection at Six Mile Cypress Parkway and Ortiz Avenue and a superstreet layout just east of the interstate at Forum Boulevard, designs FDOT published instructional videos to explain.
How Florida law applies
Florida has specific rules on deadlines, shared fault, and insurance coverage that decide how much you can recover. We explain how they apply to your case, at no cost, in your language.

Where is my Fort Myers injury case filed?
Fort Myers is the county seat of Lee County, so injury lawsuits from crashes and falls there are filed in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit at the Lee County Justice Center in downtown Fort Myers. Pino Law Firm's office is in Orlando and we handle Lee County cases from there, appearing in that court when a suit has to be filed. Most claims settle first, but we prepare every one for trial.
Which Fort Myers roads should I be most careful on?
The recurring conflict points are on I-75 at the Daniels Parkway, Colonial Boulevard, and State Road 82 interchanges, and on US-41 (Cleveland Avenue) at Colonial Boulevard, Winkler Avenue, and Daniels Parkway. Colonial Boulevard itself now runs a continuous flow intersection at Six Mile Cypress Parkway and a superstreet at Forum Boulevard, layouts that are easy to misread on a first pass. Get treated first, then call us before you give the insurer a statement.
Does it change my case if the driver who hit me in Fort Myers was a seasonal visitor from out of state?
Not your right to recover. Lee County's population climbs every winter as seasonal residents and visitors arrive, so out-of-state drivers and out-of-state policies are common in Fort Myers crashes. Florida law still governs the claim, but the other driver's coverage terms, policy limits, and whether they can be located after they go home all affect it. Tell us early if the at-fault driver was from out of state.
