Colorado’s Award-Winning Hit and Run Accident Attorneys
A hit and run accident occurs when one of the drivers involved in the accident fails to stop and instead leaves the scene without summoning the police or emergency services, rendering aid to the other driver, or providing the other driver with their driver’s license information, contact information and insurance information.
If you or a loved one is injured in a hit and run accident, it is critical that you act quickly to engage a competent Colorado hit and run accident attorney who will protect your rights. Even if the other driver was at fault and cannot be held accountable, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages from your own insurance company. But even if you faithfully paid your auto insurance premiums for years and had full coverage, your insurance company may not compensate you fairly.
At Fisher & Associates, our car accident attorneys have handled many hit and run accident cases and are well-versed in the tactics necessary get you the maximum available compensation that you are entitled to. Don’t delay! Contact us today for a 100% free consultation to discuss your accident and all available legal options.
Hit and Run Accident – Things To Do
If you are the victim of hit and run accident, you should attempt to gather as much information from the scene as possible. The more details you have, the easier it will be for your hit and run accident attorney to build a strong case.
Do:
- Relocate to a safe place out of the traffic lane or intersection, even if that means leaving your vehicle.
- Get the license plate number from the other vehicle if you can.
- Immediately report the incident to the police and provide them with any information you have about the driver and vehicle that hit you.
- Complete the accident report with the police and include witnesses if possible.
- Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think you may not be injured. (You may be in shock and not recognize the existence or extent of your injuries.)
- Report the incident to your insurance company.
Don’t:
- Try to chase or confront the other driver.
- Leave the scene before contacting the police
- Fail to get a thorough medical examination to confirm that you have not been hurt.

Additional Information on Hit and Run Claims
How Will Hiring an Attorney Help Me With My Hit and Run Claim
Hit and run cases in Colorado can be complex and challenging, particularly since many of the victims of hit and run accidents have never been in an accident where the other driver left the scene, and are not familiar with the legal system or what it takes to successfully pursue a hit and run claim.
At Fisher & Associates, our experienced Colorado car accident attorneys know how to work directly with law enforcement officials to investigate the circumstances of the hit and run accident, and review all accident reports, witness statements or other evidence proving the other driver’s liability. We will help you to get you the medical care you need, even if you don’t have insurance, and we will make sure that you understand all of your available legal options.
Compensation for Hit and Run accident injuries
Compensation awards in hit and run accident cases often cover multiple types of damages from medical expenses, to lost wages, to damages for pain and suffering. If you have been the victim of a hit and run accident, you need an attorney with expertise in the many different types of damages that are compensable and will help you get the financial compensation that you are entitled to.
Medical Expenses
Compensation for medical expenses is intended to cover the full cost of treatment and rehabilitation for injuries sustained in the hit and run accident. This compensation may include:
• Past and future medical expenses
• Doctor visits
• Hospital stays
• Surgeries
• Medications
• Out-of-pocket medical costs
• Other healthcare-related expenses
At Fisher & Associates, our car accident attorneys understand the financial burden that medical expenses from injuries in a hit and run accident can place on victims and their families. We will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the compensation you need to cover the full cost of your medical care and recovery.
Lost Wages
Compensation for lost wages is designed to cover the income that you lost as a result of your injuries from the hit and run accident. At Fisher & Associates, our experienced accident attorneys will assist you in calculating and claiming your lost wages, ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve. Our team understands the documentation required to support a lost wages claim and will assist you in gathering pay stubs, tax returns, and other documents necessary to demonstrate your lost earnings. We understand the financial strain that lost wages can place on accident victims and their families and will fight to ensure that you receive the maximum available compensated for these losses.
Pain and Suffering Damages
“Pain and suffering” or non-economic damages provide compensation for the physical, emotional and psychological effects of a hit and run accident. This type of compensation addresses the intangible losses that cannot be precisely quantified for financial remuneration. At Fisher & Associates, our experienced hit and run attorneys are skilled in assessing and describing each individual client’s pain and suffering damages. We understand the profound effect that pain and suffering can have on your life and will work diligently to ensure that your story is told and you receive the compensation you deserve for the physical, emotional and psychological impact that the hit and run accident had on you and your family.
Will Insurance Cover My Hit and Run Accident?
If you are injured in a hit and run accident, even if the other driver is never found or apprehended, you may still have other options for recovery. Hit and run accident victims may under certain circumstances be able to seek compensation from their own insurance company for their injuries and other losses.
