Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run crashes remain a serious issue across Florida, with thousands of incidents reported annually. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), these accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities, especially when medical attention is delayed due to the fleeing driver.
State law requires all drivers involved in an accident to remain at the scene and provide assistance when needed. Leaving the scene of an injury crash is a felony offense, carrying severe legal consequences. Victims of hit-and-run accidents may face challenges in seeking compensation, particularly if the at-fault driver is not located. However, uninsured motorist coverage can sometimes provide financial relief in these cases.
