Hit-and-run crashes continue to be a significant concern in Florida, especially in densely populated urban areas like Orlando. According to reports from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, these accidents often leave victims stranded and struggling to recover, both physically and financially. The emotional toll of such incidents can be devastating, as victims face uncertainty while dealing with their injuries.
