We were rear ended by a drunk driver. I was driving, we stopped at a stop light and this 1970 Ford pickup (that had almost clipped us coming out of the parking about 1/4 a mile before the light). He screached out of the parking lot and didn't even seem to slow down and slammed into the back of us. He had to be going pretty fast to do the damage that he did to our car and especially his tuck (those old trucks are like tanks!). The passenger owned the truck and the driver was supposively his designated driver, even tho he had been drinking too. Well the driver hopped out of the car and took off on foot!(he had warrants) The passenger (owner of the the truck) stayed there and didn't even get arrested!
I'm not sure if we should get a lawyer... we haven't been offered a settlement yet, but what would you suggest? My arm is still hurting and Chris' back is hurting too. We're going to a chiropractor this week... I've just never had this happen and need to know what we should do.
