It would be advisable to speak with a personal injury attorney because the at-fault party's insurance company will try to pay as little as possible to settle the case.
In addition, with representation from a personal injury attorney, the attorney may be able to refer you to a doctor who agrees to provide medical treatment pursuant to a lien which means the doctor is paid out of the settlement of the case.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
