Why You Need a Hit and Run Attorney in Orlando
Hit and run accidents are alarmingly common in Orlando. Florida consistently ranks among the worst states for hit and run crashes, and Orange County sees hundreds every year on I-4, the 408, and local roads. When the at-fault driver flees, victims are left injured, confused, and wondering if they have any legal options.
The answer is yes — and that's exactly where ANT Law Firm comes in. Our Orlando hit and run attorneys launch an immediate investigation: pulling surveillance footage, canvassing businesses near the crash site, working with police, and using every available tool to identify the driver who struck you. Even if the driver is never found, we pursue compensation through your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage and any other liable parties.
Insurance companies often try to minimize UM payouts or deny hit and run claims altogether. They may argue you can't prove a “phantom vehicle” caused the accident or question whether contact actually occurred. Our experienced attorneys know these tactics and shut them down. We handle the legal complexity so you can focus on recovering.
Hit and Run & Related Accident Cases We Handle
Hit and run accidents intersect with many types of motor vehicle and personal injury cases. Our Orlando attorneys handle the full spectrum — from identifying fleeing drivers to pursuing every source of compensation.
What to Do After a Hit and Run in Orlando
Acting quickly after a hit and run is critical. Evidence disappears fast — cameras overwrite footage, witnesses leave, and memories fade. Follow these steps to protect your case.
Call 911 Immediately
Report the hit and run to police. A police report is essential for both your insurance claim and any future lawsuit. Florida law requires drivers to remain at the scene — the fleeing driver committed a crime.
Note Everything You Remember
Write down every detail about the other vehicle: make, model, color, license plate (even partial), direction of travel, distinguishing features, and the driver's appearance if you saw them.
Document the Scene
Take photos and video of your vehicle damage, the road, any debris left behind (paint transfer, broken parts), skid marks, traffic signals, and your injuries.
Look for Witnesses & Cameras
Ask anyone nearby if they saw the accident or the fleeing vehicle. Note nearby businesses, traffic cameras, and doorbell cameras that may have captured footage.
Seek Medical Attention
Get examined even if you feel okay. Adrenaline masks pain, and many hit and run injuries — whiplash, concussions, internal bleeding — have delayed symptoms.

Florida Hit and Run Laws & Your Legal Options
Under Florida Statutes §§ 316.027 and 316.061, leaving the scene of an accident is a crime. The severity of the criminal charge depends on the outcome: property damage only is a second-degree misdemeanor, injury crashes are felonies, and fatal hit and runs carry up to 30 years in prison. These criminal penalties are separate from your civil claim for compensation.
On the civil side, Florida's comparative negligence system applies even in hit and run cases. If the driver is identified, you can pursue a standard personal injury claim against their insurance. If the driver is never found, your primary path to compensation is through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Florida law requires insurers to offer UM coverage to every policyholder.
You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. But evidence in hit and run cases is especially time-sensitive — surveillance footage is typically overwritten within 7 to 30 days. Contact our Orlando hit and run attorneys as soon as possible.
Evidence Disappears Fast
Surveillance camera footage is typically overwritten within 7–30 days. Witnesses forget details within weeks. Vehicle debris gets cleaned up. The sooner you contact our Orlando hit and run lawyers, the better our chances of identifying the driver and building a winning case. Call (407) 777-8888 today.

“I was hit on I-4 near the 408 interchange and the other driver took off. I was terrified and didn't know what to do. ANT Law Firm tracked down the driver using traffic camera footage and got me a settlement that covered all my medical bills and then some. They made a nightmare situation manageable.”
Diana S.
Hit and Run — I-4
“The driver who sideswiped me was never found. I thought that meant I was out of luck, but ANT Law Firm filed a UM claim with my own insurance and fought hard for a fair payout. They explained every step and kept me updated throughout. I'm so grateful I called them.”
Carlos R.
Hit and Run — Unidentified Driver
“I was crossing the street in a crosswalk when a car hit me and drove away. I had a broken leg and couldn't work for months. Alexandra and her team found a witness who got a partial plate number, which led to the driver. They got me compensation for everything — medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.”
