Hit and Run Accident Lawyers in Hollywood, Florida

If a driver hit you and left, you can still bring a claim. Florida law lets you pursue your own uninsured motorist coverage when the at-fault driver can’t be identified or has no insurance, and it lets you pursue the driver directly if they’re later found. You don’t have to wait on a police report closing the case before you start protecting your own claim. The steps depend on where the crash happened and what coverage you carry, and that’s worth a short phone call before you decide anything.

How much is Your case worth?

Hit and Run Accident in Hollywood

Hollywood sees a steady mix of drivers who don’t stop, and the layout of the city plays a part in that. Hollywood Boulevard stretches from I-95 all the way to the Broadwalk, crossing Federal Highway and circling through Young Circle along the way. That’s a long corridor with a lot of turning movements, a lot of distracted drivers trying to find beach parking, and a lot of intersections where a driver can clip another car or a pedestrian and be gone before anyone gets a plate number.

Young Circle adds its own complications. The roundabout design confuses drivers who aren’t used to it, and merging mistakes there happen fast. A driver who realizes they caused a crash sometimes keeps circling and leaves the area entirely rather than stop and exchange information.

Then there’s the Broadwalk itself. It runs along the beach for miles, and it’s constantly full of pedestrians, cyclists, joggers, and beach cruisers crossing over from side streets onto A1A and the parallel roads that feed it. Drivers pulling out of beachside lots or making a quick turn toward a hotel sometimes strike a cyclist or a pedestrian stepping off the Broadwalk and drive away, especially at night when visibility is poor and the crowds make it easy to blend in.

Whether your hit and run happened at a Federal Highway intersection, near Young Circle, or along a Broadwalk crossing, the location affects what evidence exists. Traffic cameras, nearby business security footage, and witnesses who were out walking or biking can all matter. The sooner that evidence gets identified, the less likely it disappears.

What we look at in these claims

When reviewing a Hollywood hit and run case, we examine police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and vehicle damage to help identify the fleeing driver. We also consider your insurance coverage, medical records, and how the accident has affected your daily life.

What We Look At in These Claims

  • Whether the driver can be identified
    Nearby surveillance cameras, traffic cameras, dashcam footage, or witness accounts can sometimes identify the driver even after they've left.
  • What your own insurance provides
    Uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy is often the path to compensation when the driver responsible can't be found or didn't carry adequate insurance.
  • The police report and investigation
    A timely, detailed police report supports both the criminal investigation into the driver and any insurance claim that follows.
  • How quickly evidence is gathered
    Security footage from a mall, garage, or nearby business is often deleted or recorded over within days, making an early start one of the most important parts of a hit and run claim.

What a Claim May Cover

A hit and run claim in Florida can involve more than one type of coverage, and what applies depends on your policy and the facts of the crash. Depending on your situation, a claim may address:

  • Medical treatment connected to the crash, from the emergency room through follow-up care
  • Lost income if your injuries kept you from working
  • Property damage to your vehicle or bicycle
  • Ongoing or future care if your injuries don’t resolve quickly
  • Pain and daily impact the crash has caused

We don’t promise a specific result or a dollar figure. What a claim can recover depends entirely on your coverage, your injuries, and the facts we’re able to establish. What we can do is walk through your policy and the police report with you and explain, in plain terms, what options are actually on the table.

FAQ

What if the driver who hit me was never identified?

You may still have a path forward through your own uninsured motorist coverage, if you carry it. This coverage is designed for exactly this situation. We can review your policy and explain what applies.

Possibly. Nearby businesses, city cameras, and traffic signals sometimes capture footage that helps identify a vehicle or confirm how a crash happened. Footage is often overwritten within days or weeks, so acting quickly matters.

A police report helps document the crash and is generally a good idea to file right away, but your ability to pursue a claim doesn't automatically depend on the driver being caught. Call us and we can walk through what you have.

Florida sets deadlines for filing injury claims, and they vary depending on the type of claim. They can also be shorter when a government entity is involved. Rather than relying on a general number, call us so we can confirm the deadline that applies to your specific situation.

The case review is free, and there's no fee unless we recover for you. You can call and describe what happened before deciding anything.
