General Legal Context for Hit-and-Run Crashes in Florida

Florida law generally requires drivers involved in crashes resulting in property damage or injury to stop at the scene and provide the information required by law. Leaving the scene of a crash can result in criminal penalties depending on the circumstances and whether anyone was injured.

Individuals who suffer injuries or property damage in a hit-and-run collision may also have potential civil claims, depending on the available evidence and the circumstances of the crash. Evidence such as photographs, surveillance footage, witness statements, vehicle damage, and law enforcement reports may be important when investigating these incidents.

When the at-fault driver cannot immediately be identified, investigators may rely on witnesses, nearby surveillance cameras, vehicle descriptions, and other evidence to determine who was involved.
