Hit-and-run crashes are an epidemic in Florida. Every year, approximately 100,000 hit-and-runs are reported across our state. The damage from a hit-and-run can range from minor to extremely catastrophic. Hit-and-run crashes take both a financial and emotional toll on their victims, as many hit-and-run drivers do not have automobile insurance to cover the damages sustained.
