Hit and Run Accidents On The Rise

On March 20, 2013, the Denver Post had an article about the dramatic spike in hit and run accidents in Denver.  According to the article, auto-pedestrian accidents are up 46% in 2013 over the previous 2 years in Denver.  As resident of Capitol Hill, who walks around my neighborhood everyday, I see distracted drivers on their phones not paying attention to the dense urban streets around them.  It only takes a moment of glancing at your phone to tragically change the life of another.

On a personal injury note, pedestrians injured by a driver can use their own auto insurance to help pay for their medical bills, lost wages and more.  For more information on what to do after a pedestrian-auto accident watch this video on my website.
