Serious accidents happen in Florida multiple times per day. According to a report, there were more than 100,000 hit-and-run crashes in Florida in 2019. While not all of these accidents involved injuries, many of them did and they often resulted in suffering for innocent victims and their families. Although drivers are normally required to remain at the scene of a serious crash, they often flee in an effort to avoid responsibility for their actions.
Our thoughts and best wishes are with the victims of this car accident in Orlando. We hope for a complete and speedy recovery.
