As your Orlando auto accident attorney, Carolyn Salzmann wants you to be
prepared should you find yourself involved in a Florida auto accident.
There are several responsibilities highlighted by the
Florida DMV we thought you should be aware of.
- Don’t leave the scene. If the accident you were involved in resulted
in injuries and you leave the scene without providing information your
license may be revoked.
- Report the accident. Any accident that results in injuries or property
damage exceeding $500 must be reported.
- Don’t block traffic. If you can’t move the car yourself you
are required to seek assistance. Blocking traffic can result in another accident.
- Ticket and traffic court. Accidents are often the result of a driver breaking
a traffic law. An investigating officer will file charges against the
offending driver.
- Unattended vehicle auto accidents. Should you hit another vehicle of which
the driver or owner is not present, you must inform the owner. Leave a
note with your information including name, address, and license plate
as well as report it to authorities.
