If you're hit by an uninsured driver in Colorado, take these steps: First, call the police and document the accident with photos and witness information. Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Report the accident to your own insurance company and file a claim under your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Do not accept any settlement or sign any documents without consulting an attorney. If you don't have UM coverage, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit against the uninsured driver directly—though collecting can be difficult. Contact Kane Trial Law for a free consultation to understand your options.
