Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Hit-and-run accidents are alarmingly frequent in Florida, with over 100,000 incidents reported annually. These accidents can leave victims facing not only physical injuries but also financial burdens and legal complexities as they work to identify the at-fault party. In rural and semi-urban areas like Chipley, intersections such as Moss Hill Road and SR-77 can be especially hazardous due to limited visibility and varying traffic speeds.

Being involved in a hit-and-run crash can lead to several challenges, including:

  • Difficulty Identifying the Driver: Fleeing the scene makes it harder to hold the responsible party accountable.
  • Increased Medical Expenses: Victims often face mounting costs for emergency care and long-term treatment.
  • Insurance Complications: Filing claims can be more challenging when the at-fault driver is unknown.
  • Emotional Impact: The sense of injustice and trauma often lingers long after the incident.
