Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents remain a significant concern across Florida, with thousands of cases reported each year. Orlando, in particular, sees frequent hit-and-run crashes due to its dense traffic and high pedestrian activity. These incidents often leave victims facing medical expenses and uncertainty about holding the responsible party accountable.
Florida law requires all drivers involved in crashes to remain at the scene, yet many offenders flee to avoid legal consequences. In cases where the at-fault driver is unidentified, victims may still seek compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or legal claims.
Authorities urge witnesses of hit-and-run incidents to provide any available information to law enforcement to help identify and locate the fleeing driver.
