Hit and run accidents pose a significant threat to public safety in Florida, often leaving victims in precarious situations both physically and emotionally. Each year, numerous individuals sustain injuries due to reckless driving behavior, and many of these incidents involve drivers who choose to leave the scene instead of taking responsibility.
Being involved in a hit and run accident can lead to a myriad of challenges for victims.
