Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Hit-and-run accidents are unfortunately common across Florida and often leave victims feeling stranded and overwhelmed. These crashes occur when a driver flees the scene instead of stopping to exchange information or provide aid as required by law.

Understanding common causes and risks of hit-and-run accidents:

Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence may flee to avoid legal consequences.
Lack of Insurance: Uninsured motorists sometimes leave the scene to avoid financial liability.
Fear of Arrest: Those with outstanding warrants or legal issues may panic and flee.
Distracted Driving: Drivers unaware of the crash may leave the area unintentionally.

If you’ve been the victim of a hit-and-run, it’s crucial to gather evidence such as vehicle descriptions, witness information, and any surveillance footage that may assist in identifying the driver.
