Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida sees a high number of hit-and-run crashes each year, with over 100,000 reported incidents in 2023 alone. These accidents often leave victims struggling with injuries and financial burdens while the responsible driver remains unidentified.

There are several reasons why drivers flee the scene of a crash:

Driving Without a License: Unlicensed drivers may flee to avoid legal consequences.
DUI Involvement: Intoxicated drivers often leave the scene to evade arrest.
Lack of Insurance: Uninsured drivers may escape to avoid financial liability.
Panic: Fear and anxiety can lead some drivers to make irrational decisions.
