Maitland Personal Injury Lawyer

If you were injured because of another person or company’s negligence, you may have the right to pursue compensation for the financial and personal consequences of your injuries.

Kennon Law represents personal injury clients in Maitland and throughout Central Florida in cases involving car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, premises liability, medical malpractice, defective products, and other serious injuries.

Unlike firms simply targeting Maitland online, Kennon Law is located in Maitland at 1009 Maitland Center Commons Blvd. Our attorneys represent clients facing insurance disputes and personal injury claims from our Maitland office, providing local access backed by decades of litigation experience.

Founding attorney Hans Kennon has practiced law for more than 30 years and is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar. He has litigated personal injury and insurance cases throughout Florida and has been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law since 2015.

We offer free case evaluations, and personal injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis, meaning clients do not pay attorney’s fees or costs unless compensation is recovered.

Why Choose Kennon Law for a Maitland Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury claim requires more than showing that an accident happened. The evidence must establish who was responsible, how that person or company caused the injury, the extent of the damages, and what insurance coverage or other sources of compensation may be available.

Kennon Law investigates personal injury claims by identifying responsible parties, preserving evidence, reviewing insurance coverage, obtaining relevant records, documenting financial losses, and evaluating how an injury may affect a client in the future.

A Personal Injury Law Firm Located in Maitland

Kennon Law’s office is located at 1009 Maitland Center Commons Blvd in Maitland. For people who live or work in Maitland, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Orlando, and surrounding Central Florida communities, that means the firm handling the case is part of the same community it serves.

Accidents in and around Maitland can occur on heavily traveled roads such as Maitland Boulevard, Orlando Avenue/U.S. 17-92, Interstate 4, as well as at businesses, offices, apartment communities, medical facilities, and other properties throughout the area.

Local relevance alone does not determine the outcome of a personal injury case, but having attorneys familiar with Florida injury and insurance litigation can be important when evaluating liability, available coverage, evidence, and litigation strategy.

Led by a Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney

Founding attorney Hans Kennon is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar and has more than 30 years of legal experience. His background includes litigating personal injury and insurance disputes against major insurance companies throughout Florida.

Board certification in Civil Trial Law reflects substantial experience in civil litigation and trial practice, along with peer review, continuing legal education, and successful completion of a specialty examination.

Kennon Law prepares personal injury claims with the understanding that an insurer may dispute liability, challenge the extent of an injury, or refuse to make a reasonable settlement offer. When litigation becomes necessary, our attorneys are prepared to pursue the case in court.

Evaluating the Full Impact of an Injury

The value of a personal injury claim is not limited to the medical bills that have already arrived. Depending on the circumstances, an injury can result in future medical care, lost income, reduced earning ability, physical limitations, pain and suffering, and significant changes to daily life.

Our attorneys evaluate the evidence supporting both current and future losses so that settlement negotiations reflect the complete impact of the injury rather than simply the expenses incurred immediately after an accident.

Our Maitland Personal Injury Practice Areas

Our team of expert Maitland personal injury lawyers handles a wide range of personal injury cases.

Car Accidents

Maitland car crashes are common—rear-end collisions, and wrecks caused by distracted driving or speeding drivers. A Maitland car accident lawyer can investigate the accident scene, gather medical records, and work to establish liability and prove negligence so you can recover compensation.

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Accidents involving delivery trucks, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles are often more complex than standard car accident cases. A Maitland truck accident lawyer can move quickly to preserve evidence, identify multiple defendants, and pursue the liable parties for full compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents in Central Florida often cause severe injuries because riders are harder to see and more exposed. A Maitland motorcycle accident lawyer can help you document the crash, preserve evidence, and prove the other driver’s negligence so you can recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Florida’s tourism industry creates unique personal injury cases—from hotel slip and fall incidents to resort negligence and theme park-related injuries near major attractions. A Maitland slip and fall lawyer can help prove a property owner’s failure of duty of care and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Premises Liability Incidents

Wet floors, poor lighting, unsafe walkways, and negligent security can cause serious injuries—especially in retail stores, parking lots, and multi-tenant properties. A Casselberry premises liability lawyer can help document the hazard, preserve camera footage, and establish notice and breach of duty.

Medical Malpractice & Wrongful Death

Medical errors—misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, delayed treatment, and birth injuries—can be life-altering. In the most tragic cases, families may have grounds for wrongful death claims. A Maitland medical malpractice lawyer can work with qualified experts and prepare cases with the burden of proof in mind to pursue fair compensation.

Product Liability

Defective products can cause serious harm—often without warning. A Maitland product liability lawyer can investigate the product, identify the manufacturer or seller responsible, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages tied to your injuries.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Every case is different. The value depends on liability, causation, medical probability, available insurance coverage, and the severity of injuries—especially when injuries are permanent or catastrophic.

Economic Damages

These are measurable financial losses, such as:

Medical expenses (current and future)
Lost wages / lost income
Property damage

Non-Economic Damages

These compensate for intangible harm, including:

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are rare, but they may apply in cases involving gross negligence or reckless misconduct—such as drunk driving—where punishment and deterrence are part of the civil remedy.

Important Florida Personal Injury Laws You Must Know

Florida law changed in major ways after the 2023 tort reform. These rules can directly affect your right to recover damages and the leverage insurance companies have in negotiations.

The 2-Year Statute of Limitations

In most negligence-based personal injury cases, Florida now generally requires an action to be filed within two years.
Waiting too long can mean your case is dismissed—no matter how strong your evidence is. That’s why documenting injuries, preserving records, and speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney early matters.

Modified Comparative Negligence

Florida uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may recover nothing in most negligence claims.
That single issue—fault allocation—often becomes the battleground. We work to investigate, establish liability, and counter attempts to shift blame onto accident victims.

Florida’s No-Fault Insurance (PIP)

Florida’s no-fault system requires most drivers to rely first on Personal Injury Protection (PIP) for certain medical expenses and lost wages. Under Florida’s PIP statute, initial services and care generally must occur within 14 days of the motor vehicle accident to qualify for benefits.
Even if you think you have minor injuries, seeking medical attention promptly can protect both your health and your claim.

Contact Our Maitland Personal Injury Attorneys Today

Kennon Law attorneys can see why your claim was denied and help you file an appeal. If the insurance company is acting in bad faith and denying a legitimate, well-documented claim, we may also be able to file a bad-faith insurance lawsuit on your behalf. Contact us today for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Florida Personal Injury Protection (PIP) generally helps pay a portion of your medical expenses and lost wages after a motor vehicle accident, regardless of who caused the crash. Coverage limits and eligibility rules can affect how much is available.

Florida law generally requires an injured person to receive initial medical treatment within 14 days of the accident to qualify for PIP medical benefits. Waiting too long can jeopardize coverage.

If an insurer denies, delays, or underpays PIP benefits, review the denial carefully and keep copies of medical records, bills, and insurer correspondence. An attorney can evaluate whether the insurer correctly applied Florida PIP law and whether additional benefits may be owed.
