Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida ranks among the highest in the nation for hit-and-run accidents. In 2022 alone, over 100,000 hit-and-run incidents were reported statewide, with many resulting in injuries or fatalities. These accidents leave victims and their families struggling to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

Some key factors contributing to hit-and-run accidents include:

  • Uninsured Drivers: Drivers without insurance may flee to avoid legal and financial consequences.
  • Driver Impairment: Alcohol or drug use often leads to erratic decisions, including leaving the scene of a crash.
  • Panic and Fear: Drivers may flee because they fear legal repercussions or lack knowledge about their responsibilities.
  • Outstanding Warrants or Criminal History: Drivers involved in illegal activities are more likely to abandon the scene.

Florida law mandates that drivers involved in accidents must remain at the scene and provide assistance. Failing to do so is a criminal offense that carries severe penalties.
