Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents continue to be a growing concern across Florida, with thousands occurring each year. Under state law, all drivers involved in a crash must stop, provide aid, and exchange information. Fleeing the scene of an accident, especially when injuries are involved, is a serious offense that carries significant legal consequences.
For victims of hit-and-run accidents, seeking compensation can be challenging, particularly if the at-fault driver is not located. In such cases, injured parties may need to rely on their uninsured motorist coverage to cover medical expenses and damages. This highlights the importance of gathering evidence, including witness statements and surveillance footage, to assist law enforcement in identifying the responsible driver.
