Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents continue to pose significant risks for drivers and pedestrians throughout Florida. When a driver flees the scene of a crash, injured victims are left to deal with the aftermath alone, making it more difficult to receive timely medical assistance and financial compensation.
Florida law strictly prohibits leaving the scene of an accident, especially when injuries are involved. Those who commit hit-and-run offenses can face severe legal penalties, including felony charges, fines, and potential jail time. Despite these consequences, hit-and-run incidents remain a common issue in busy metro areas like Orlando.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes may struggle to recover compensation, especially when the at-fault driver is not identified. However, uninsured motorist coverage and legal avenues can help those affected seek the support they need. Law enforcement agencies continue to use surveillance footage, witness accounts, and forensic analysis to locate and prosecute hit-and-run drivers.
