Penalties For Leaving The Scene Of An Accident

In Florida, if you are accused of failing to stop and render aid after a traffic collision can result in an arrest for leaving the scene of an accident. These duties include immediately stopping the vehicle at the scene, providing the other driver with your name, contact information, registration number, and insurance information, and calling emergency services in cases in which any party was injured.

A driver arrested and charged with a hit and run offense will be facing severe penalties if convicted. These include:
