Under Connecticut law, a hit-and-run occurs when a driver leaves the scene of an accident without stopping to exchange information or assist the injured. This is a crime — and in injury cases, it adds serious complexity to your legal claim.
Hit-and-run crashes can involve:
Even if the driver isn’t caught, you still have legal options. We can help you access compensation through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage and, in some cases, identify liable third parties through surveillance footage, eyewitness reports, and investigative tools.
You may still be able to recover full compensation for:
At Alan Barry & Associates, we don’t stop at surface-level insurance claims. We dig deeper to find hidden coverage, challenge claim denials, and explore every path to recovery — especially when the at-fault party has fled the scene.

1. Can I still get compensation if the driver is never found?
Yes. If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage — which is mandatory in Connecticut — you can file a claim with your own insurance to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
2. How long do I have to file a hit-and-run injury claim in Connecticut?
Connecticut’s statute of limitations is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. However, UM claims may have shorter notice deadlines under your policy, so contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
3. What if I was a pedestrian or cyclist in a hit-and-run?
You still have the right to pursue compensation. In many cases, your own car insurance (if you have it) or a household policy may provide UM coverage that applies, even if you weren’t driving at the time.
