Question:
I was involved in a hit and run with a car in Salt Lake City; do I still have a claim?
Answer:
A hit and run car crash can be devastating. Whether it’s just a small brush in a parking lot, or a driver gives you the wrong information, or there are life-altering injuries, a hit and run accident can leave you feeling confused, frustrated, and cheated by the system.
If the car was covered by insurance, we can file a claim against the owner’s insurance and look to the owner’s policy. We’ll do everything we can to search for the car or the driver and find insurance. Our experts will help us find out whether there’s any coverage at all, and if so, who the company was. If you’ve been in a hit and run crash, however, all is not lost.
In a Utah hit and run crash, you will most likely have some built-in protections under your own insurance policy, even if the driver that hit you is never found or was driving without any insurance. These protections come in the form of uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage, and the state of Utah requires insurance companies offer these benefits with every auto policy.
Hopefully, the driver that hit you had insurance, but if they didn’t or they fled the scene, we may not even need to know who the driver was. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage allows us to make a claim against your own insurance in a hit and run crash.

With regards to case value, these three rules can serve as guides. First, the value of a case usually follows the severity of your injuries. The worse a person is hurt, the bigger the case. Second, how much are the medical bills? This one is similar to the last one – usually, the higher the medical bills, the more valuable the case. Third, what kind of impact did the crash have on your life? The more the injuries from a crash affect your life, the more the case is worth, oftentimes. All these factors go into helping evaluate the value of a case. If you’ve been hurt in a bicycle crash, call us. We would love to talk with you about your case."
