# Hit-and-Run Lawyer  
across Utah. 

If the driver who hit you fled, you still have options — and most Utahns underestimate how strong those options are. Your own UM coverage is built for exactly this situation.

What this case really involves 

## What we look at in a hit-and-run lawyer case.

Hit-and-run cases turn on two questions: can we identify the driver, and if not, what does your own policy cover? We pursue both tracks in parallel.

Identification work includes police follow-up, surveillance review, witness canvassing, and partial-plate searches. When that doesn't produce a name, we proceed under your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage — Utah law specifically contemplates 'phantom vehicle' claims.

We also pursue household and stacked policies where applicable. Stacking rules in Utah are technical; missing them is one of the most expensive mistakes a non-PI lawyer can make.

Insurance issues we anticipate

-   — Uninsured motorist (UM) on your own policy — required in Utah unless waived 
-   — Household resident UM where applicable 
-   — PIP for initial medical coverage

FAQ

-   Do I have to find the driver?
    
    No. Utah law allows phantom-vehicle UM claims when independent corroboration of the crash exists.
    
-   What if I waived UM coverage?
    
    Waivers must be in writing and meet statutory requirements. We review them — they often aren't valid.
