You Have Rights. We Will Stand up For Them.
Victims of hit and run accidents often fear that they do not have any recourse to collect compensation. However, an experienced personal injury attorney can help you seek justice. We know how to protect your rights.
You need compensation to cover medical expenses and other losses caused by the accident. We can help you recover damages, even if it is not possible to contact the driver who hit you. To make an appointment, please call 303-731-6254 or send us an e-mail. Your consultation is free.
Special Considerations of Hit and Run Accidents
Hit and run accidents can happen in many ways:
- To people in cars
- To motorcyclists
- To pedestrians and bicyclists
Hit and run accidents may be the result of drunk driving. Careless or distracted driving is another common cause. Colorado recently passed a law restricting people under the age of 18 from using a mobile device while driving. Drivers over 18 may use cell phones, but are not allowed to text.
If the driver is guilty of drunk driving, distracted driving or leaving the scene of the accident, we may be able to sue for punitive damages.
We can make a claim with your auto insurance under your uninsured motorist and Medical Payments (Med Pay) coverage if you cannot locate the other driver.
How We Can Help
If you are the victim of a hit and run accident, you should notify the police immediately. Then you should call an attorney. You will be contacted by many people: insurance companies, a criminal defense lawyer, police and the district attorney's office. It is important to have an attorney help you handle these people.
We understand your rights and will work to protect them. Please call our Denver office at 303-731-6254.
