Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run crashes are a growing concern in Florida, with thousands of such incidents occurring each year. These accidents often leave victims vulnerable, delaying crucial medical assistance and complicating the process of obtaining justice.
Florida law requires all drivers involved in an accident to remain at the scene, particularly when injuries are involved. Failing to do so can result in severe criminal charges. Victims of hit-and-run crashes may face challenges in recovering damages, especially if the responsible driver is not located. However, uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can provide financial assistance in these cases, covering medical expenses and lost wages.
Given the dangers associated with hit-and-run accidents, drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant on the road, report suspicious driving behavior, and ensure they have proper insurance coverage. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a hit-and-run crash, seeking legal guidance can help secure the compensation needed for recovery.
