Injured in a Hit-and-Run Accident in Florida? Here’s How to Protect Yourself, Your Health & Your Future

Injured in a Hit-and-Run Accident in Florida? Here’s How to Protect Yourself, Your Health & Your Future

When the Other Driver Runs… Your Injuries Stay.

Getting hit in a car accident is scary enough. But getting injured — and then watching the driver speed away like nothing happened? That takes things to a whole new level of anger, fear, and frustration.

Unfortunately, hit-and-run accidents happen a lot in Florida — nearly 1 in 4 crashes, to be exact.

And when you’re hurt, left in pain, and facing medical bills with no obvious person to hold responsible… that’s where the personal injury team at Nance Cacciatore comes in.

We’ve been helping injury victims in Brevard County since 1963 — and we know exactly how to fight for your health, your rights, and the compensation you deserve after a hit-and-run.

Hit-and-Run Accidents Are About More Than Car Damage — They’re Personal Injury Cases.

Sure, car repairs are annoying. But when you’re injured in a hit-and-run, the damage goes way beyond bent bumpers and broken glass.

We’re talking about:

→ Neck & back injuries
→ Head trauma & concussions
→ Broken bones
→ Soft tissue injuries
→ Emotional trauma & anxiety
→ Long-term or permanent disability

And the worst part? Many hit-and-run injuries don’t show up right away. Adrenaline can mask pain. Internal injuries can worsen over time. That’s why getting medical attention immediately is absolutely critical.

What Types of Compensation Can Hit-and-Run Injury Victims Recover?

This is where we come in. At Nance Cacciatore, we focus on getting real money for real injuries — not just property damage.

Depending on your situation, you could recover compensation for:

Medical Expenses

  • ER visits

  • Hospital stays

  • Surgery costs

  • Physical therapy

  • Prescription medications

  • Future medical care

Lost Wages & Loss of Earning Capacity

  • Time off work

  • Reduced ability to earn in the future

Pain & Suffering

  • Physical pain

  • Emotional distress

  • PTSD or anxiety

Permanent Disability or Disfigurement

  • Life-long injuries deserve life-long compensation

What If The Driver is Never Found?

This is the #1 question we get from hit-and-run injury clients.

The good news? Florida law gives you options — and we know how to use them.

1. Your Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

  • Covers medical bills & lost wages (up to $10,000)

  • But doesn’t cover pain & suffering

2. Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage

  • Specifically designed for situations like hit-and-runs

  • Can cover medical expenses, pain & suffering, and more

  • Not required in Florida — but if you have it, it’s a game-changer

3. Filing a Lawsuit (If The Driver is Found)

  • If law enforcement locates the hit-and-run driver, we can sue them directly for full compensation — above and beyond your insurance coverage.

Why Hit-and-Run Injury Claims Are High-Stakes — And Why You Need an Attorney ASAP.

Insurance companies are not on your side. Especially when the other driver is missing.

They’ll try to:

  • Downplay your injuries

  • Delay your claim

  • Deny certain treatments

  • Offer quick, lowball settlements

Not on our watch.

At Nance Cacciatore, we prepare every case like it’s going to trial. Why? Because serious injuries deserve serious attention — and serious compensation.
