Hi-
I was involved in a car accident yesterday. A woman ran a red light and hit two cars, mine and another. I was in the passenger seat and her car hit me directly. Everyone involved except the driver of my car was taken by ambulance to the emergency room. I was lucky and ended up with only 12 stitches in my head and a lot of bruises.
She was arrested and is completely at fault-- we were not cited at all, nor was the other car who was hit by her.
I got the police report today and also filed the claim with her insurance company. I have not called my insurance company or anything yet.
I'm just wondering what to expect in terms of money, rental car, bills, etc. Should I hire a lawyer immediately? I do have health insurance, but will I get money for the hospital bills?
My car was 1998 VW Cabrio in excellent condition with very low miles (52,000).
Has anyone been throught this and have some sound adivce? My family and I are wondering the best way to proceed
