Leighton Law Opens Orlando Office

Focus on Resort TortsTM Expands Personal Injury Practice into Central Florida

Leighton Law, P.A. has opened an office in Orlando, Florida. The new office is located at 121 South Orange Avenue, Suite 1150, and is conveniently located just a few blocks from the Orange County courthouse.

“Our growing client base in Orlando demanded this expansion,” stated Leighton. “The safety of residents and tourists alike is threatened by a desire for profit, especially in the hospitality and resort industry.  This trend is particularly troublesome in Central Florida, which is the world’s largest tourist destination.”

Mr. Leighton provides clients with extensive experience in the area of Resort Torts™, including cruise ship, maritime, and violent crime/negligent premises security. Among his cases is the high-profile parasailing death in Pompano Beach, Florida, in which the mother of 15-year-old Amber May White filed a negligence lawsuit against parasail operators Pompano Water Sports and Wyndham Vacation Resorts.  Amber May died while parasailing from head trauma, sustained when she crashed into the Beachcomber Hotel. Mr. Leighton has spearheaded legislative efforts to bring some regulation to this rogue industry. His efforts in Tallahassee have resulted in a bill which he and the family hope to make law this year.
