Hi...... I'm Guy DiMartino a Florida car accident attorney and author of a Guide to
Florida Car Accident Claims with my one minute accident tip. Spending this one minute with
me can save you a lot of frustration with your accident claim.
Today... I would like to discuss why drivers leave the scene of an accident.
Maybe you or somebody you love was involved in a car crash and the other driver took off.
Why do you think the other driver took off? Can you still receive money for your injuries
and get your car fixed?
In my experience, the other driver took off for one of three reasons:
1. they don't have insurance 2. they're drunk or on drugs.
3. they just panicked
If the other driver took off and the police or your lawyer can't find them - you may
still be able to get money for your injuries if the car that you were in has uninsured
motorist insurance coverage. You can also get the car fixed - if you have
collision coverage. If you don't have collision and you can't find the other driver or the
driver is uninsured you are up the creek without a paddle.
In these types of cases, it is probably best to hire a lawyer immediately because the longer
you wait - the more difficult it will be to find the other driver.
If you have any questions about a Florida car accident claim, you can always give me
a call. I'm Guy DiMartino..... Meeting you at the intersection of law and medicine.
