Hit-and-Run Crashes in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents are among the most troubling types of collisions, especially when they result in injuries. In Florida, such incidents have been on the rise in recent years, with thousands of crashes annually involving drivers who flee the scene rather than stop to assist injured victims or accept responsibility.
These crashes often leave victims with not only physical injuries but also emotional trauma and uncertainty—especially when the perpetrator has not yet been identified. Roadways like 62nd St N and US-19 in Largo are heavily traveled, making them frequent locations for collisions, particularly during peak afternoon hours.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents may face added challenges in obtaining compensation for medical bills, vehicle damage, and lost income. In such cases, it’s critical to seek legal support, especially when law enforcement efforts are still underway to locate the responsible driver.
