Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Florida sees a significant number of hit-and-run accidents each year. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), over 100,000 hit-and-run crashes occur annually, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These accidents are especially dangerous because victims are often left without immediate aid.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents often face unique challenges in recovering damages. Here are some important steps to take if you’re involved in one:
- Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, getting checked by a medical professional is crucial. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
- Report the Incident: Contact the police immediately. A formal report can help in tracking down the driver and documenting the details of the crash.
- Gather Evidence: If possible, take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Witness statements can also be helpful.
- Check for Nearby Cameras: Many intersections and businesses have surveillance cameras that may have captured the accident. This footage can be key in identifying the fleeing driver.
- Consult an Attorney: A legal professional can help explore options for compensation, including uninsured motorist coverage or other avenues of financial recovery.
