Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida ranks among the states with the highest number of hit-and-run incidents. In recent years, more than 100,000 hit-and-run crashes were reported annually, many involving injuries or fatalities. These crashes are especially dangerous, as delays in aid can worsen outcomes for victims.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a hit-and-run crash, understanding how these cases work is essential. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

Uninsured motorist coverage can help: If the other driver leaves the scene and isn’t identified, your uninsured motorist (UM) policy can provide compensation. This coverage is optional in Florida, but it’s incredibly valuable in hit-and-run cases.
Identifying the vehicle is crucial: The more information available—such as the car’s make, model, color, or license plate—the better the chances of finding the at-fault driver. Witnesses, dash cams, and traffic footage can all help.
Police reports matter: Filing a timely police report is critical. Not only does it begin the investigation process, but insurance companies often require one before honoring a UM claim for a hit-and-run.
Victims may still be compensated: Even when the other driver isn’t found, a skilled attorney can help victims recover through insurance or other legal channels. Acting fast helps secure evidence and preserve your rights.
