Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents are a growing concern in Florida, with thousands of incidents reported each year. These crashes often leave victims with injuries and property damage, while the at-fault driver avoids immediate responsibility. Busy roads like SR-434 can be especially vulnerable to such incidents due to high traffic volumes and frequent stop-and-go conditions.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes may face financial burdens from medical bills, vehicle repairs, and lost wages. While Florida law requires drivers to remain at the scene of an accident, many flee to evade responsibility. In such cases, law enforcement works to identify and apprehend the responsible party, and victims may seek compensation through their own insurance policies or legal action.
