What is the penalty for a hit and run in Florida?
I think I might get charged with a hit and run—and I’m freaking out. How much trouble can you get into if you’re convicted of a hit and run in Florida?

- If no one was hurt or killed and you were sober at the time of the accident, you will face up to 60 days behind bars and a fine of $500.
- If anyone was injured, you could face up to five years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
- If anyone was killed, you’ll face four to 30 years in prison, a revoked license for at least three years, and a fine of $10,000.
