Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Hit-and-run crashes are a growing concern in Florida, with thousands occurring each year. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that in one recent year, over 100,000 hit-and-run incidents were recorded statewide. Unfortunately, many of these collisions result in serious injuries or fatalities.

Victims of hit-and-run accidents often face additional challenges when seeking compensation. Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Locating the At-Fault Driver – Law enforcement investigates hit-and-run crashes using witness statements, surveillance footage, and forensic evidence. Identifying the driver can significantly impact a victim’s ability to seek justice.
  • Uninsured Motorist Coverage – If the at-fault driver is not found, victims may rely on their uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to help with medical expenses and damages. This coverage is highly recommended for Florida drivers.
  • Legal Penalties for Fleeing the Scene – Florida law imposes severe penalties on drivers who leave the scene of an accident, including criminal charges, hefty fines, and potential jail time.
  • Gathering Evidence – If possible, victims should take photos of the accident scene, note any details about the fleeing vehicle, and seek eyewitness accounts to assist investigators.
  • Filing a Legal Claim – Even if the driver is not found, victims may still pursue a personal injury claim through their insurance or other avenues. Consulting a lawyer can help clarify the best course of action.
