One case was fatal. A bicyclist was hit in the intersection of Speer Boulevard and Lincoln Street on July 22, and the black Subaru that ran over him fled the scene. On Aug. 9, a black van turned in front of a motorcycle carrying two people. One of the two riders was seriously hurt, and the van fled that scene too. Then on Aug. 11, an 18-year-old was hit and injured in Keenesburg by a runaway driver.

If you’ve been hurt by a hit-and-run driver, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and the medical bills that result from your accident. If you lose wages or salary by having to take time off from work, you may be entitled to compensation. And if the hit-and-run driver is found and it can be proved that they were drunk (which experts say is true in many cases) you may be entitled to punitive damages.

If the hit-and-run driver can’t be found, you still have options such as your car insurance policy’s uninsured motorist coverage. It’s for cases such as this that the Denver personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya strongly recommend that you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, even though state law doesn’t require it.

If you’ve been hurt by a hit-and-run driver, get in touch with me right away. Hit-and-run cases are complex, and you need the expertise of our skilled attorneys to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

Suffering injuries from a hit-and-run driver is bad enough; don’t suffer again at the hands of an insurance company. Make the right decision. Give me a call at (303) 758-4777, email me at DLS@dlslawfirm.com or visit our website at www.dlslawfirm.com for more information.
