Our Hit and Run Accident Attorneys Will Identify All Avenues of Compensation

We will conduct a thorough investigation to identify the owner of the feeling vehicle whenever possible. If we can find the vehicle owner, we’ll file a claim against their insurance policy for your post-accident expenses and losses. Evidence that can help identify the vehicle will include witness statements, debris left at the accident scene, and dashcam, traffic cam, and other sources of video surveillance. 

While personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured motorist coverage (UM) are optional in Colorado, we’ll determine if your auto policy includes one or both and help you access these forms of financial recovery. 

We Will Build a Case File That Proves the Hit and Run Driver’s Negligence

Whether we pursue the at-fault driver’s insurance or yours, we document the negligence that caused your accident. We will also prove the driver fled the scene. The evidence we collect for your case file will include:

• Police report
• Medical records
• Proof of income
• Injury photos
• Accident reconstruction
• Accident scene photos
• Witness statements
• Expert testimony

Our law firm handles evidence collection rather than asking you or your family to take on this challenge. While we build your case file, you can focus on your recovery or on helping a loved one heal.

You Have a Limited Time to Pursue Hit and Run Compensation in Colorado

The personal injury statute of limitations for car accidents in Colorado is generally three years from the accident date, according to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101. The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years from when a family member passes away, according to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102.

Meeting the statute of limitations is mandatory but can be complicated since circumstances can provide exceptions to the filing deadline. The best way to avoid a potentially costly filing delay is to let our hit and run accident attorneys handle your claim.
