Florida Drunk Driver Causes Two Hit-and-Run Accidents

By Orlando Personal Injury Attorney on June 8, 2015

The first weekend in June, a Florida man was arrested for driving drunk and being involved in two hit-and-run accidents in Southampton. The driver was operating a car that only had three tires, and when police stopped him he resisted arrest. Luckily, no one was killed in his two hit-and-run accidents, but he did cause property damage and was charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and multiple traffic infractions.

If your property has been damaged by a drunk driver or hit-and-run driver, or worse you or someone you know has been injured, call the Law Offices of James O. Cunningham to learn more about your legal rights. In hit-and-run accidents victims often don’t feel like they have many options because often the driver cannot be identified. That’s why it’s important to gather as much information as possible from the scene, as well as accounts from any witnesses, and call the police right away. The sooner they know of an accident the better chance they have of finding the suspect.
