Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida sees thousands of hit-and-run accidents each year. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, nearly 25% of all crashes in the state involve a driver who leaves the scene. In 2023, Florida recorded over 100,000 hit-and-run crashes, with many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.

Leaving the scene of an accident can significantly impact victims, delaying necessary medical care and complicating the investigation process. Here are some key factors contributing to hit-and-run crashes:

  • Distracted Driving – Drivers who are distracted may cause accidents and panic, fleeing the scene instead of taking responsibility. Common distractions include texting, eating, or using in-car entertainment systems.
  • Driving Without a License – Individuals who drive without a valid license may fear arrest and leave the scene of a crash to avoid legal consequences.
  • Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drug use play a significant role in hit-and-run accidents. Intoxicated drivers often flee to avoid DUI charges.
  • Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers – Some drivers flee because they lack proper insurance coverage and fear financial repercussions.
  • Fear of Legal Trouble – Those with outstanding warrants or prior offenses may choose to run instead of facing additional penalties.
