Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Florida sees a high number of hit-and-run crashes each year, with thousands of motorists and pedestrians suffering injuries due to drivers leaving the scene. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, over 100,000 hit-and-run accidents occur in the state annually, making up a significant portion of total crashes.

Understanding why these accidents happen can help raise awareness and prevent future incidents:

  • Failure to Take Responsibility: Some drivers flee the scene out of fear of legal consequences, especially if they lack insurance or have prior violations.
  • Impaired Driving: Individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol may leave the scene to avoid DUI charges.
  • Unawareness of Impact: In some cases, drivers claim they were unaware they struck a pedestrian or vehicle.
  • Panic Reactions: Fear and anxiety can cause drivers to make irrational decisions, leading them to flee instead of stopping to help.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a hit-and-run accident, speaking with a Pensacola car accident attorney is essential. Seeking legal guidance can help ensure you receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Time is critical in these cases, as evidence and witness accounts can fade quickly.
