What Are Hit and Run Accidents?
A hit and run accident occurs when one driver involved in an accident leaves the scene of the crime; while the collision may have been accidental, fleeing the scene is usually not. When involved in an accident, drivers are required to stop, exchange insurance information, and contact the authorities or medical providers if necessary. Leaving the scene of the accident can lead to significant legal trouble for the driver involved, including criminal prosecution.
Hit and run accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, whether they’re between two or more drivers, a driver and a pedestrian, or a driver and a bicyclist. These may include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord trauma
- Whiplash
- Broken bones
- Internal damage
- Significant lacerations
- Sprains, strains, and other soft tissue damage
Any type of injury sustained in a hit and run accident is the responsibility of the drivers involved. More importantly, hit and run accidents may also involve increased injury as a result of failure to provide aid following the accident; when a victim’s injuries or pain and suffering is enhanced by the other driver’s failure to observe proper post-accident protocol, the extent of these damages should be the responsibility of the driver who left the scene.

What Happens if the At-Fault Driver is Never Caught?
A lot can happen at the beginning of an accident and that initial chaos can allow the at-fault driver to leave the scene before their information can be documented. Victims may be too injured or distressed to make note of the other vehicle’s license plate or there might not be any security footage to help track down the at-fault driver. If victims do not have the information of the at-fault driver, then it is nearly impossible to file a claim against their insurance company. In this situation, the victims’ own insurance policy should step in to cover the damages.
However, the state of Colorado only requires a minimum mandatory coverage of $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per person for property damage, and $5,000 per accident for medical payments. If you are seriously injured in a hit and run accident, minimum coverage may not be enough to cover the costs of your injuries and recovery.
This is why insurance providers are required to offer drivers Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage.
This is why insurance providers are required to offer drivers Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage. These optional additions to your insurance policy are designed to increase the amount of damages you can receive from your own insurance company in specific accidents:
- Uninsured Motorist Coverage: This policy provides coverage if the at-fault driver does not have insurance, including in cases of phantom driving and hit-and-run accidents. Adding this policy to your current insurance plan will provide additional coverage for any injuries or damages caused as a result of a hit-and-run, ensuring that you are not forced to pay out of pocket when you are recovering from an accident.
- Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Many motorists only apply for the minimum mandatory coverage, which may not cover all the damages sustained in an accident. A UIM policy provides additional coverage for such scenarios. If the other driver’s insurance policy does not fully cover bodily injury or property damage, a UIM policy will cover the difference up to your policy’s limit.
Both policies can go a long way to helping you recover compensation from an accident, but it is important to review all your options after an accident. Insurance companies are focused on maximizing their profitability and will attempt to get out of providing coverage if it can save them money. An experienced Colorado car accident attorney will understand their tactics and be ready to counter them, ensuring their clients receive the compensation they are owed. The attorneys at Tenge Law Firm, LLC will review options in a case, including our clients’ own auto insurance policy.
What Damages Can Be Recovered After a Hit and Run?
After a hit and run, there are several types of damages that can be recovered depending on the circumstances of the victim’s injuries. These may include:
- Funeral and/or burial expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Medical bills, including compensation for reasonably anticipated future medical bills
Working with a lawyer is the most effective way to determine exactly what damages you may be entitled to following a hit and run accident. Your lawyer will be able to help identify damages associated with the accident, assemble the proper documentation and testimony to prove those damages, and help you present a case or negotiate a settlement from the strongest position possible.
