YES. This is the question we hear most often at our Livermore, CA hit-and-run accident law firm.
Many victims feel hopeless because the perpetrator vanished. However, California law and your own insurance policy often provide a safety net called Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage.
How UM Coverage Works for You:
When someone hits you and runs, they are technically an “uninsured driver” in the eyes of the law. If you have UM coverage on your policy (and most Californians do), your own insurance company “steps into the shoes” of the runner.
The Catch: Your insurance company is no longer your “good neighbor” when you file a UM claim. They become your legal adversary. They will try to minimize your injuries and save their own bottom line. This is why you need the best hit-and-run accident attorneys in Livermore, CA to represent you. We hold your own insurance company accountable to the policy you’ve been paying for faithfully for years.
The moments following a crash are a blur of adrenaline and confusion. Whether you were hit on First Street, near the Livermore Premium Outlets, or on the I-580 corridor, taking these steps can drastically increase your chances of a successful claim.
1. Call 911 Immediately
Even if you think your injuries are minor, you need a formal police report. This document is the bedrock of your case. When the Livermore, CA hit-and-run accident attorney team takes your case, the first thing we look for is that official record.
2. Be Your Own Detective (Safely)
If you are physically able, use your phone.
3. Seek Medical Attention
Go to Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley or your local urgent care immediately. Adrenaline can mask internal injuries or concussions. Having a medical record dated the day of the accident prevents the insurance company from claiming your injuries happened elsewhere.
4. Do Not Talk to the Other Driver’s Insurance (If They Are Found)
If the police find the runner, their insurance company might call you with a “quick cash” offer. Do not take it. It is almost certainly a fraction of what your case is worth.
5. Consult a Livermore, CA Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyer
Before you give a recorded statement to any insurance company—including your own—speak with us. We offer a free hit-and-run accident consultation to help you understand your rights before you make a mistake that costs you thousands.
Insurance companies have one goal: to pay out as little as possible. They use complex algorithms and “delay and deny” tactics to wear you down. When you’re dealing with the aftermath of a crash, you don’t have the energy to fight a multi-billion dollar corporation.
Let us be your shield. As your Livermore, CA hit-and-run accident attorney, we handle the “legal heavy lifting” so you can get back to your life.
Common Injuries We Help With:
When you’re scrolling through options, you might see “general practice” attorneys. You don’t need a lawyer who spent the morning in a divorce court and the afternoon drafting a will. You need a hit-and-run accident lawyer in Livermore who lives and breathes California traffic law.
We Are “Smart-Aggressive”
Many firms shout about how “tough” they are, but they end up dragging you into a three-year court battle that leaves you exhausted. We prefer a “smart-aggressive” approach. We use high-level negotiation and surgical legal strikes to get you the maximum settlement as quickly as possible, so you can move on with your life.
The Power of an All-Female Team
As a premier all-female Livermore hit-and-run accident lawyer team, we bring a unique perspective to the table. We prioritize empathy for our clients and relentless pressure on insurance companies. We know how to tell your story in a way that makes adjusters realize they can’t lowball you.
We Take the Weight Off Your Shoulders
Our goal is to make the legal process the easiest part of your recovery. While you focus on physical therapy and healing, we handle:
California’s Premier All-Female Personal Injury Law Firm
While our physical offices are in San Francisco and Los Angeles, we proudly serve clients throughout California. From San Diego to Sacramento, our team has successfully represented clients in cities and communities across the state. Modern technology allows us to maintain close communication with our clients, regardless of their location, while our extensive network of medical experts and investigators helps us build strong cases anywhere in California.
How much does it cost to hire a hit-and-run lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we take a percentage of the final settlement. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us a dime.
What if the police never find the driver?
We can still pursue a claim through your Uninsured Motorist coverage. You shouldn’t be punished financially because someone else committed a crime.
How long do I have to file a claim in Livermore?
Generally, California has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury. However, in hit-and-run cases, you should act much faster to ensure evidence like video footage isn’t deleted.
You’ve been through enough. The person who hit you shouldn’t get away with ruining your health and your finances. Contact the best hit-and-run accident attorneys in Livermore, CA today.

I can't recommend Rebecca at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers more highly. Rebecca is transparent, honest, and client-centered in a way that was completely different from the other firms I considered. Rebecca broke down what can feel like a very opaque process, and helped me understand my options in an approachable way. It was immediately clear that Rebecca's advice and guidance centered around my personal best interest, not what would make her firm the most money. Thanks Rebecca and team!Posted on Yelp![]()

Thanks for all the help Rebecca!!Posted on Yelp![]()

I was very fortunate, and by pure luck, I found Sally Morin's firm on YELP. The firm wasn't recommended to me by anyone, but I now want to recommend them to EVERYONE, especially my fantastic attorney, Annie Heller. Annie was compassionate, honest, attentive and very responsive to my calls and emails. Throughout the entire process of my claim, I felt completely supported and even after my case successfully settled, she followed up with me. Thank you Annie for your exceptional legal service.Posted on Yelp![]()

Rebecca and the team at Sally Morin are awesome, plain and simple! Honestly, they were the only legal representation that didn't make me feel slimy after the first conversation. I was thrilled to work with them on my injury case after realizing it was more than I could handle dealing directly with the other party's insurance myself. They advocated for me and my family, going into incredible detail and crafting a great strategy for what to do next. The end result was a pleasant surprise, far exceeding my expectations. Rebecca and the team definitely earn their share by providing amazing value. They're also no-pressure, which was refreshing compared to other lawyers I contacted before choosing Sally Morin. Their priority was making sure I was always informed and knew exactly what was going on, every step of the way. If something happens again, Rebecca and Sally Morin will be my first call--and I'm sure there will be a multitude of emails to follow! :PPosted on Yelp![]()

My sister got in a car accident, was hit badly by another driver, became unconscious, and was immediately taken to hospital emergency with an internal brain bleeding thus could not defend herself. As a result, the police report had false information from the other driver and concluded my sister at fault. While other legal firms purposed disappeared after seeing at the police report and other driver's cheap insurance policy (not easy win), Sally Morin team with great heart and "no win, no pay" written clause took on the case and successfully reversed both insurance + police reports and won the case. My family is grateful to find Sally Morin firm and great team with legal expertise, experience, and most important great heart. Thank you very much.Posted on Yelp![]()

Unfortunately me and my mom were hit by another driver on the freeway. We ended up with hospital bills and a long road to recovery especially for my 85 yr old mother. This was such a tragedy and uncertain times for us not knowing where to turn and what to do about mounting bills while trying to get our lives in order. I contacted Sally and her wonderful team. Carmen one of her associates worked with me and my mom and handled everything. Carmen was awesome and such a caring lawyer as well. She keeps It real and we loved that about her. When you need a personal injury attorney that will work on handling your case in every aspect, insurance claims, potential health liens and negotiating on your behalf then Sally Morin Personal Injury law firm is the one to contact. You can count on them. Carmen explained everything so we knew what we were in for and was trustworthy and honest. There is no way to state how invaluable and priceless it is knowing the law firm you hired has your back and can be trusted. I hope no one ever needs a personal Injury attorney because being injured is one of the worst things that can happen to you; your life changes in an instant after a bad accident. But having a law firm like Sally Morin with lawyers like Carmen make that terrible experience much better knowing they are there to handle every aspect of your case and do it so well. Thanks Carmen and team. Much appreciated!Posted on Yelp![]()

I originally reached out to a different law firm to handle my personal injury case, but Sally Morin's team (Rebecca Taylor in particular) left such a good impression on me that I switched to them--and I'm glad I did! They were empathetic and professional, communicated early and often, and patiently walked me through every option. They did thorough research and handled so much on their end that I was able to focus on my recovery/work/life with minimal disruption. So I highly recommend this firm.Posted on Yelp![]()
