Each day, approximately eight victims tragically lose their lives in Florida car accidents. These crashes can occur at a moment's notice. While drivers are legally required to remain at an accident scene, many choose to flee in an effort to avoid responsibility for their actions. These drivers can face both civil and criminal responsibility for their conduct.
