What could happen if you fail to exchange information at the scene of a crash?

Failing to exchange information at the scene of a crash can lead to liability for damages. This means that if you do not provide or obtain necessary details such as names, contact information, insurance information, and vehicle details, it can complicate legal and insurance claims that arise from the incident. In many jurisdictions, including Florida, there is a legal requirement to exchange information with others involved in the crash. Without this step, proving who was at fault or compensating for damages becomes more difficult, which can ultimately result in one party being held responsible for costs that might have been shared or disputed. This liability can also affect your insurance coverage and may lead to further legal consequences depending on the circumstances surrounding the crash.
