Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents pose a significant danger on Florida’s roads, leaving victims without immediate aid and complicating legal and insurance claims. In Florida, all drivers involved in a crash must remain at the scene, especially if injuries or property damage occur. Fleeing the scene is a serious offense that can result in criminal charges, including potential felony penalties.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes often face medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Law enforcement relies on witness accounts, nearby surveillance cameras, and forensic evidence to locate the fleeing driver. Additionally, Florida drivers are encouraged to carry uninsured motorist coverage, which can help cover medical bills and damages when the responsible party is not found.
