Connecticut Hit-and-Run Accidents: What You Need to Know About Your Rights and Compensation
Many Connecticut victims of hit-and-run accidents believe they cannot recover compensation if the at-fault driver is never found. However, Connecticut law requires all drivers to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which can provide compensation in these situations—even if the driver remains unidentified. This coverage may also extend to family members' policies in your household. If the at-fault driver has no insurance, or not enough to cover your damages, your UM/UIM policy can fill the gap. Acting quickly is crucial, as early investigations help preserve evidence and strengthen your claim. Whether you were in a car, on foot, or riding a bike, you should consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Hastings, Cohan & Walsh, LLP can help uncover all potential insurance coverage and ensure no opportunity for compensation is missed. Call 203-438-7450 for a free consultation or visit www.hcwlaw.com.
