Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run crashes are an alarming issue on Florida roads, particularly in urban areas like St. Petersburg. These incidents not only cause physical harm but often delay critical medical treatment and complicate the investigation process.
Florida law requires drivers involved in a crash to remain at the scene and render aid if necessary. Fleeing the scene of an accident involving injuries is a felony offense.
For victims of hit-and-run crashes, immediate medical care and legal support are essential. Pursuing compensation can be complex, especially when the at-fault driver is not immediately located, but uninsured motorist coverage and legal action may offer recourse.
