Hit and run accidents represent a significant challenge in Colorado Springs, with hundreds of car accidents and dozens of fatal accidents reported annually. While most accident victims can rely on liability insurance to cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, property damage, and other losses, hit-and-run victims face unique obstacles when the at-fault driver flees the scene.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a hit-and-run accident, the Colorado Springs hit-and-run accident attorneys at McCormick & Murphy, P.C. can help you navigate the complex legal landscape, identify potential sources of compensation, and protect your rights. Our experienced legal team understands Colorado traffic laws, insurance regulations, and the trauma that accompanies these unexpected collisions.
The most devastating aspect of a hit-and-run accident is the potential lack of an identifiable at-fault party against whom to file a claim. Even if authorities locate the driver, they may lack insurance coverage—possibly explaining why they fled the accident scene in the first place.
Several options exist for victims seeking compensation after a hit-and-run accident:
If law enforcement identifies the hit-and-run driver, you may pursue a civil lawsuit against them. However, this approach has significant limitations. Uninsured drivers typically lack the personal assets necessary to pay for damages, even if the court rules in your favor. Our attorneys can evaluate the viability of this option based on your specific circumstances.
This represents the most promising avenue for compensation after a hit-and-run accident. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is designed specifically for scenarios involving uninsured, underinsured, or hit-and-run drivers.
In Colorado, insurance companies must offer UM/UIM coverage equal to your bodily injury liability limits, though you can waive this coverage in writing. Our personal injury attorneys strongly advise against waiving this crucial protection. Additional coverage types that may help include collision coverage, medical payments coverage, and personal injury protection.
