Florida law requires drivers to stop at an accident scene if there are any injuries and the driver must stay at the scene until the police arrive. Florida statute 316.027 states that anyone that violates such law can be charged with a third degree felony. In such case, the driver would be provided an attorney to represent him or her for the charges.
