Car Accidents in Florida 

Between 2006 and 2016, Florida police responded to the scene of 1,814 hit-and-run collisions, many of which caused serious injuries to the parties involved. When a driver commits these acts, they are engaging in an illegal act that can lead to prison time. It might be difficult for a victim to face the aftermath of a hit-and-run accident on their own, especially when it comes to identifying responsible parties and proving negligence.
