There are specific requirements under Florida law that must be followed
if you are involved in a car accident. Failing to stop, failing to render
aid if there are injuries, and failing to give your contact and insurance

police station.
Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony depends on the severity
of the accident and there are specific defenses that are could be effective
