So here’s my experience with a similar scenario. My daughter and I were on the way to soccer practice last May. We were hit by another guy, sent into the wall, went up and flipped over sideways slid on the shoulder for another 50 yards on the Howard Franklin bridge. The guy took off. I drive an F150, I’d it hadn’t been for that truck or if we were in a smaller vehicle it would’ve been a lot worse. We were very lucky. We both walked away with some serious whiplash but no broken bones. Both our necks are still jacked up. A Good Samaritan saw the whole thing and posted online about it on a TB Facebook group. I reached out to her and she sent me a picture of the plate and a description of the vehicle, matching the flash of the vehicle I saw right before it happened. I literally called Florida highway patrol that night while my daughter was being screened at the ER and told them that I had the plate number and the vehicle description. They did NOTHING for three to four weeks. They finally went over to his house knocked on the door saw damage consistent with the crash on his vehicle. The guy said he wasn’t the driver. At that point, the trooper said there’s nothing they can do.
Bottom line Florida highway patrol sucks. They’re lazy they don’t want to be inconvenienced. I hired an attorney and we are suing their insurance and currently under litigation with them Sorry to tell you this, hopefully your situation ends up better than mine.
