Helping You After a Hit-and-Run

Our Denver car accident lawyers know that in some accidents the driver has fled, no one got the license plate and it may seem that the perpetrator has gotten away with it. In the meantime, you may be injured. You’ve been crashed into and you’re hurt. Now what?

If the hit-and-run driver can’t be found or identified, it isn’t possible to recover damages from that person. In addition, a large number of hit-and-run drivers leave the scene because they’re uninsured, so identifying them may not make any difference. In a good number of cases, the hit-and-run driver was drunk and was trying to avoid being arrested.

In cases like this, Colorado hit-and-run accident law treats the other driver as if they were an uninsured driver. That’s why it’s important that your auto insurance policy include UM/UIM – uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. A Denver personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya can explain how with this protection, if a hit-and-run driver injures you, you may still be able to recover for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering by bringing a claim under your own insurance policy’s uninsured motorist provision.

If the hit-and-run driver can be found, you may also be able to make a claim for punitive damages – compensation exceeding your monetary losses that is meant to punish the hit-and-run driver. It’s possible to win a punitive damages claim if we can prove that negligence on the guilty driver caused you to suffer injuries.

If you’ve been hurt in a hit-and-run car accident, 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. Let’s talk about your case. There’s no cost or obligation.

We’ll help you get the money you and your family deserve for the injuries you’ve suffered. And remember: If we take your case, we don’t get paid unless you get paid.
