Why are hit-and-run accidents so common in Miami?

It’s sad, but it’s true: Miami has one of the highest rates of hit-and-run crashes in the state. We see them happen in all types of situations, including:

On I-95 and the Palmetto Expressway at night
In busy intersections near Brickell or Wynwood
In parking lots or garages, where drivers hit a car and leave without a note
In residential neighborhoods, often involving pedestrians or parked cars

People flee the scene for many reasons. For example, they may be drunk, driving without insurance, or have a suspended license. But none of those excuses change the fact that you’re the one left to deal with the damage. Our Miami hit-and-run attorneys know how frustrating this can be, and we’ll work tirelessly to find compensation to cover your damages.

What should I do after a hit-and-run accident?

We know it’s chaotic, but the steps you take right after the crash can help strengthen your case. Here’s what we recommend:

Call 911 right away – the police will make sure everyone is safe and complete an accident report.
Get medical attention, even if you don’t feel injured – symptoms often show up later.
Write down everything you remember about the other vehicle (make, model, color, license plate digits, and the direction it went).
Take photos of the crash scene, your vehicle, and any visible injuries.
Ask around for witnesses or for nearby surveillance footage from gas stations, apartment buildings, and street cams.
Call a lawyer as soon as you can.

We’ll take it from there and launch a full investigation into what happened and who’s responsible.

Can I still recover compensation if the driver is never found?

If the hit-and-run driver isn’t identified, you may be able to file a claim through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This is why having UM coverage in Florida is so important. It can step in when the at-fault driver can’t be held accountable. Even if you’re not sure what’s in your policy, our legal team can review it for free and help you understand your options.

What if I don’t have uninsured motorist coverage?

If you don’t have UM coverage, you’re not completely out of options. Our attorneys will exhaust every avenue because we know what’s at stake for you. Depending on your situation, we might be able to:

Find a third party that shares fault (for example, a construction company that created a hazardous condition)
Discover surveillance footage that identifies the driver
Track down witnesses who can provide leads
Explore personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to help with your medical bills

What injuries are common in hit-and-run crashes?

Hit-and-run crashes are often violent, especially since many drivers are speeding, impaired, or panicked. As a result, many crash victims suffer from injuries such as:

Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Spinal cord injuries
Internal bleeding
Emotional trauma, anxiety, and PTSD

Even if you think your injuries are “minor,” don’t brush them off. Get evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible to address your injury early on and link it to the crash. This way, the insurance companies can’t argue that you waited too long to see a doctor.

What if I was a pedestrian or bicyclist in a hit-and-run?

Pedestrians and cyclists are among the most vulnerable in hit-and-run crashes. Romanow Law Group has handled many of these cases. Whether you were hit crossing the street or riding in a bike lane, we’ll investigate every detail and work to hold someone accountable. This might be either the driver, or your own insurance company if the driver isn’t found.

What if my own insurance company won’t cooperate?

Unfortunately, insurance companies (even your own) are more interested in keeping their costs down than compensating you. Even your own insurer can turn against you when it comes time to pay out a UM claim. They might:

Delay processing
Offer a low settlement
Argue that your injuries aren’t serious
Claim you weren’t hit at all

That’s where the Miami hit-and-run accident attorneys at Romanow Law Group come in. We’ll handle the negotiations, file any necessary lawsuits, and make sure your insurance company lives up to its promises.
