In the early morning on July 5th my wife, daughter , and I were rear ended by a suspected drunk/drugged driver. It took the fire department almost an hour to extract me and they flew both my wife and I to the trauma center. They did this because we both had signs of head injuries and the local hospital did not have the ability to meet our needs. Good news is we were discharged about 8 hours later when no life threatening injuries were found.

 

 

Is there anything additional that I should do prior to securing a lawyer? I am not sure yet if the other driver was insured or not as I am waiting to hear back from the State Police. I did notify my insurance of the accident and told them I needed to determine if I was going to get a lawyer before moving forward with anything with them. They told me based on what I told them I was not at fault but they would need the police report for official ruling.

 

 

Below are the pictures. My understanding was the driver (maybe 17yo) had been clocked on radar going more than 130mph a few miles earlier and maybe ran from the cops. He hit me at a very high rate of speed from behind and pushed my vehicle out of control and into a tree. Not sure how we did not get killed in the accident.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

James
