Orlando Trial Lawyers Focused on Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation, and Wrongful Death
When an injury or loss upends your life, you need a law firm that moves quickly, communicates clearly, and fights relentlessly for results. At Wieland & DeLattre, P.A., we protect injured Floridians and grieving families with practical strategy, courtroom-ready advocacy, and personal service you can count on.
From our Orlando office, we serve clients across Orange County and throughout Florida.
How We Stand Up for Our Clients
We focus our Orlando practice on three core areas:
Personal Injury
A serious injury brings medical bills, time off work, and uncertainty. We build strong, evidence-based claims to hold negligent parties accountable and maximize recovery.
- Cases we handle:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Slip-and-fall and dangerous premises
- Construction site and road work zone accidents
- Product defects and other complex liability claims
- Damages we pursue:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation (past and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage and, when warranted, punitive damages
- Our process:
- Rapid investigation, preservation of evidence, and expert engagement
- Clear liability analysis and coverage mapping
- Strategic negotiations backed by trial readiness
Workers’ Compensation
Work injuries should not jeopardize your finances or your future. We help injured workers secure the full benefits they deserve, and pursue third-party claims when others are at fault.
- Benefits available in Florida may include:
- Medical treatment with authorized providers
- Temporary total and temporary partial disability
- Impairment income benefits
- Permanent total disability
- Death benefits for surviving dependents
- Key timelines and steps:
- Report your injury to your employer within 30 days
- Seek treatment with an authorized provider and follow all recommendations
- Document symptoms, work restrictions, and insurer communications
- If denied or underpaid, file a Petition for Benefits and proceed to mediation or hearing
- Why legal help matters:
- Insurers often minimize or delay benefits. We know the tactics and how to counter them to protect your rights and accelerate results.
Wrongful Death
Nothing replaces a loved one. A wrongful death claim can secure accountability and the financial stability your family needs to move forward.
- Common causes:
- Motor vehicle and trucking crashes
- Dangerous premises and drownings
- Workplace incidents
- Defective products and criminal acts
- Recoverable damages may include:
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Loss of support and services, lost net accumulations
- Loss of companionship and protection
- Mental pain and suffering for eligible survivors
- Deadline:
- Most Florida wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death. Prompt action preserves evidence and protects your claim.

Answers to Common Questions
- How long do I have to file?
- Personal injury: generally two years from the accident date.
- Wrongful death: generally two years from the date of death.
- Workers’ compensation: report to your employer within 30 days; litigation deadlines apply. There are exceptions—contact us promptly to protect your rights.
- What if the insurer denies my workers’ comp claim?
- You can file a Petition for Benefits, participate in mediation, and proceed to a hearing. We gather medical and expert evidence to strengthen your case and handle appeals when necessary.
- Can I have both a comp claim and an injury lawsuit?
- Yes, if a third party (not your employer) contributed to your injury. We coordinate claims to maximize total recovery and avoid conflicts.
