Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents remain a significant concern across Florida, leaving many victims with injuries and little recourse unless the responsible driver is identified. Miami, in particular, sees a high rate of these incidents due to its heavy traffic and busy roadways.
In cases like this morning’s collision on South Dixie Highway, victims often face challenges in obtaining compensation for medical expenses and damages. Florida law requires drivers to remain at the scene of an accident, but unfortunately, some individuals choose to flee instead of taking responsibility.
To reduce hit-and-run crashes, Florida has enacted the Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act, which imposes severe penalties on drivers who leave the scene of an accident involving injuries. However, enforcement remains difficult without eyewitnesses or surveillance footage.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit-and-run crash, seeking legal guidance and medical attention as soon as possible is critical. Authorities urge anyone with knowledge of this or similar accidents to report information to local law enforcement to assist in bringing responsible parties to justice.
