If you were injured at all (such as a whiplash requiring chiropractic care), you want to get two lawyers -- a criminal traffic lawyer to fight the tiicket and an auto accident lawyer to bring your personal injury claim against the true at-fault driver. Just because the cop found you at fault does not mean the judge or arbitrator in a civil suit will.
