Hit & Run Accident Lawyers in Salt Lake City

Fighting for the Injured in South Jordan, West Jordan, Sandy, Draper, and West Valley City

A car accident is traumatic under any circumstances, but when the other driver speeds away, the trauma is compounded by confusion and a sense of injustice. You may be left injured, without answers, and uncertain what to do. Unfortunately, you face a unique set of hurdles that go far beyond physical pain or a damaged car.

These cases are more complex than typical car accident claims because identifying the at-fault party is not always possible, and even when it is, delays can complicate recovery.

At Eisenberg Lowrance Lundell Lofgren, we represent clients across the state facing these circumstances. Our highly experienced legal team is ready to step in and take a structured approach to help you pursue compensation even in these unfortunate situations.

How We Handle Hit & Run Accident Cases

When a driver flees the scene, it removes the most direct path to holding them accountable. At the same time, insurance companies may scrutinize these claims more closely, questioning liability, the severity of injuries, or even how the accident occurred.

Without legal guidance, you may struggle to:

Identify potential sources of compensation
Preserve critical evidence before it is lost
Navigate uninsured motorist (UM) claims
Respond to insurance company challenges or delays

These cases require immediate action and careful investigation. Our team works quickly to gather and preserve evidence while exploring every possible avenue for recovery.

Exhaustive Investigation & Evidence Gathering

We don’t just wait for the police to find the driver. Our team works aggressively to track down leads. We look for nearby surveillance footage from businesses, seek out witnesses who may have seen a partial plate, and analyze physical debris left at the scene.

In Utah, "clear and convincing" evidence is often required to prove a hit-and-run occurred if there was no physical contact between vehicles. We know exactly what evidence the courts and insurers need to see.

Navigating Utah’s No-Fault & Uninsured Motorist Laws

Utah law requires every driver to carry at least $3,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP). We help you access these funds immediately to cover initial medical bills and lost wages. Beyond that, we focus on uninsured motorist (UM) claims.

In Utah, a hit-and-run driver is legally considered an uninsured motorist. We hold your insurance provider accountable for the policy you paid for, including long-term medical care, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Coordination with Law Enforcement

If the driver is eventually apprehended, the case enters a new phase. We stay in close contact with the Salt Lake City Police Department and the District Attorney's Office. A criminal hit-and-run charge is powerful evidence of negligence in your civil claim.

We can also help you pursue criminal restitution - court-ordered payments from the defendant - which can help cover out-of-pocket costs like your insurance deductible.

Aggressive Advocacy for Maximum Outcomes

Whether we are negotiating with your own insurance company or a newly identified defendant, our goal remains the same: the best possible result for you.

Our attorneys are award-winning litigators who have secured tens of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. We have handled over 150 cases with recoveries exceeding $1 million; we bring that same "million-dollar" intensity to every hit-and-run case.
