Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Hit-and-run accidents are a serious problem in Florida, often leaving victims without immediate medical aid and complicating the process of holding negligent drivers accountable. Florida law requires all drivers involved in an accident to remain at the scene, especially when injuries occur. Those who flee can face severe criminal charges.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes may struggle to recover damages, particularly if the responsible driver is not located. However, uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can help cover medical expenses and lost wages in these cases.
To help prevent hit-and-run accidents, drivers should remain alert, report reckless driving behavior, and ensure they have adequate insurance protection. If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit-and-run crash, seeking legal guidance can help secure the compensation needed for recovery.
