Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents are a growing concern in Florida, leaving victims without immediate accountability for their injuries and damages. Under Florida law, all drivers involved in a crash are required to remain at the scene, especially when injuries occur. Fleeing the scene is a criminal offense that can lead to serious legal consequences.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes often face challenges in recovering compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Florida law allows injured parties to seek compensation through their personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, but in serious cases, victims may need to explore other legal avenues to ensure they receive full compensation.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a hit-and-run accident, taking immediate action is crucial. Seeking medical care, reporting the crash, and exploring your legal rights can help ensure the best possible recovery.
