What is a Hit and Run?
It does not matter who caused an accident, or incident. A hit and run is simply when someone leaves the scene before the police show up. This could be in a parking lot while you are shopping, or while riding a bicycle, or even during a vehicle collision.
If there was an injury to a person, it can become a felony hit and run. This is a charge by the police, and separate from anything that happened during the incident itself. Depending on what the police find, this could also be a misdemeanor. Both charges are very serious in Florida, which is why you need to have a very experienced hit and run lawyer helping you through this time.
What should you do as a hit and run victim?
