Question:
I was involved in a hit and run as a pedestrian in Salt Lake City; do I still have a claim?
Answer:
In a pedestrian hit and run case, the first thing that we do is start an investigation to see if we can find any information about the vehicle that hit you. We’ll go to surrounding homes and local businesses to find out if there’s any video of the accident.
Sometimes we can get a license number or find witnesses from a video. The next step is finding out the insurance status of the car that was hit.
Sometimes the person who got hit has their own automobile insurance. Sometimes the car that was hit belonged to a relative, under whom the vehicle was insured.
There’s a type of coverage called uninsured motorist protection. This type of coverage will often allow you to make your personal injury claim through your own policy that shifts the burden of trying to figure out who the driver of the fleeing vehicle was and how the crash happened.
There are special rules to these kinds of policies, so it’s important to find an experienced car accident lawyer to handle your claim to get the best results.
Another important thing that we do is open a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claim with your own insurance company. Hit and run cases present special challenges, and we have a long history of successfully resolving them for our clients. Call us for free. I’ll talk through all the issues with you and answer your questions.

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."
