Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Florida sees a high rate of hit-and-run accidents, particularly in urban areas like Orlando, where busy streets and intersections increase the likelihood of collisions. Drivers fleeing the scene after a crash not only leave victims without immediate help but also face severe legal consequences under state law.
S Orange Ave, a major roadway in Orlando, is frequently traveled and can be prone to accidents, especially during evening hours when visibility decreases. Hit-and-run collisions often result in complex investigations as authorities work to identify and locate the responsible party.
For those injured in hit-and-run crashes, the challenges extend beyond physical recovery. Victims may face medical expenses, emotional trauma, and the difficulty of pursuing compensation when the at-fault driver is unknown.
