Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyer in Florida – Fighting for Justice


Helping Victims of Hit-and-Run Crashes in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Across Florida


A hit-and-run accident is one of the most frustrating and devastating types of car crashes. When a negligent driver flees the scene instead of taking responsibility, victims are often left with medical bills, lost wages, and uncertainty about how to recover compensation. At Lieberman Injury Law, we fight for hit-and-run victims, helping them navigate insurance claims, uninsured motorist coverage, and legal options to seek justice.

What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident

Taking the right steps after a hit-and-run can improve your chances of identifying the driver and securing compensation:


  1. Call 911 immediately and report the accident to the police.
  2. Seek medical attention, even if you don’t feel injured right away.
  3. Try to recall details about the fleeing vehicle, such as color, make, model, or partial license plate number.
  4. Look for witnesses and surveillance cameras in the area.
  5. Contact a hit-and-run accident lawyer to explore your legal options.

Common Injuries in Hit-and-Run Accidents

Because many hit-and-run crashes involve high-speed impacts or pedestrian injuries, victims often suffer serious injuries, including:


  • Head and traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Internal organ damage
  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
  • Psychological trauma and emotional distress


No matter how severe your injuries, you deserve full compensation for your losses.

How Can I Get Compensation After a Hit-and-Run?

Even if the driver who hit you is never found, there are still ways to recover damages, including:

  • Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage – Florida law requires insurance companies to offer UM coverage, which can help pay for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance – Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your PIP insurance will cover part of your medical expenses regardless of who was at fault.
  • Civil Lawsuits Against Third Parties – If another party contributed to the accident, such as a business failing to maintain safe property conditions, you may be able to file a lawsuit.

Why Do Drivers Flee the Scene of an Accident?

Drivers leave the scene for various reasons, including:

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Lack of insurance or a suspended license
  • Fear of legal consequences
  • Reckless driving or outstanding warrants


Regardless of why they fled, hit-and-run drivers must be held accountable. Our firm works with law enforcement, private investigators, and insurance companies to track down responsible parties and maximize your compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if the hit-and-run driver is never found?

    You may still recover compensation through your uninsured motorist (UM) policy or personal injury protection (PIP) insurance.

  • How long do I have to file a hit-and-run claim?

    In Florida, you typically have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, insurance claims must be filed much sooner, so it’s important to act quickly.

  • Will my insurance rates go up if I file a UM claim?

    Using your uninsured motorist coverage for a hit-and-run accident should not increase your rates since you were not at fault.
