Hit & Run Defense Lawyer
If you have been involved in an auto accident, the law in Florida states that you must stop and exchange your contact information. In addition, if someone has been injured in the accident, you have an obligation to help them get medical attention.
Failing to do so is considered a criminal offense, and you might be charged with a hit & run offense.
