Aggressive Hit-and-Run Criminal Defense in Colorado
Lawyers With the Experience to Provide Your Best-Possible Defense
An investigation of an alleged hit-and-run incident often brings an avalanche of confusing legal and insurance issues and consequences. As police and district attorneys seek a conviction, a key question often emerges: Was the accused in the car at the time of the incident? In other words, is the accused actually guilty of the charge?
"Catch 22"
Defending against hit-and-run charges can put the accused in a "catch 22" situation. How? Insurers will pay for hit and run damage only if the defendant/policy holder was in the car and operating the vehicle or had given permission to another person to legally do so. But law enforcement officials have access to insurance records and can use your statements to the insurance company as evidence against you. If you lie about being in your car to the police, but then say the opposite to your insurance company, you can be charged with felony insurance fraud. If you tell the police the truth and admit being in the car, you get charged with a crime such as hit and run. What are you to do? Hire a competent law firm that has handled thousands of traffic cases.
