In Florida, a "no-fault" insurance state, if you're injured in a hit and run accident, your own insurance company is responsible for paying a portion of your medical costs and lost wages. However, most car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents exceed the $10,000 in PIP (personal injury protection) and PDL (property damage liability) protection drivers are required to carry.

If you have uninsured / underinsured coverage, you should be able to recover damages under these terms as well in hit and run accidents.  However, Florida law gives insurers financial incentive to reduce the amount of compensation you receive.

If you’ve been injured in a hit and run accident, it's important to retain an experienced attorney who can investigate the incident and challenge the insurance companies.
