Florida Law mandates drivers to stop immediately if they hit a pedestrian or another car. They are legally required to provide their name, current address, driver’s license, and auto insurance information to the other party as well as law enforcement. They are further expected to help the other driver or pedestrian to the best of their ability.

Failure to do any of the above declares the accident a hit and run, a serious criminal traffic violation. Depending on the severity of any injuries caused by the accident, a hit and run driver could face up to $10,000 in fines and up to 30 years in prison.

Aside from possibly causing serious injury or death, hit and run drivers often leave victims with unmanageable medical bills which can be impossible to recover without access to the at-fault driver’s auto insurance coverage.
