Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida sees a high number of hit-and-run accidents each year. In 2023, there were more than 100,000 reported hit-and-run crashes, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These incidents often leave victims struggling to cover medical costs and vehicle damage while authorities search for the responsible driver.

Below are some common reasons drivers flee the scene of an accident:

  • Uninsured Driving – Many hit-and-run drivers lack insurance and leave the scene to avoid financial and legal consequences.
  • Driving Under the Influence – Impaired drivers may panic and flee, fearing arrest for DUI charges.
  • Outstanding Warrants – Drivers with prior offenses or active warrants may run to avoid legal trouble.
  • Fear of Consequences: Some drivers flee simply out of panic, unaware that leaving the scene can result in harsher penalties.
