Colorado Law & Hit and Run Claims
Colorado law requires drivers involved in accidents to stop and exchange information. Hit-and-run is a criminal offense under C.R.S. 42-4-1601. For civil recovery, your own UM/UIM coverage is typically the primary source. Colorado does not mandate UM/UIM coverage, so not all drivers carry it.
