Car accident, should I get a lawyer?
I was recently involved in a car accident. Someone ran a red light & hit the front drivers side & her back end swung around and hit the back drivers side of my car going about 40-50 mph totaling my car. I was rushed to the ER before I could get any of her information & the police officer was supposed to come to the ER to talk w/me & give me a police report #, He never came, but there were 3 witnesses that talked to him stating they saw the whole thing & she ran the red light. I have no information about her, her insurance hasn’t contacted me, & I am waiting on the police report. My insurance has covered for a rental car for now.
My 6 month old son was in the car with me, the paramedic checked him out & he has had a followup with his Dr. & they said that he looks fine, but it just shook up. My head hit the steering wheel & slammed against the window. I have a bump on my head that is black & blue & my forehead and whole left side of my body is bruised. I have had a constant headache & my neck, back & body is all stiff & is in a lot of pain. I followed up with a Dr. but he told me that I am just telling myself that I am in pain, he looked at the floor the whole time & he would not even look over me. I am in the process of going to another Dr.
I have never been involved in an accident to this extreme before. Should I get a lawyer? or should I just try to work with the insurance company myself?
