Hopefully you got the driver's information and hopefully the police were called and made a report. First, you should contact the driver's insurance company and make a claim. Second, see a doctor and get your medical injuries treated. You have the right to be compensated for your injures relating to the accident. It would be best for you to consult with a personal injury attorney. Handling a personal injury claim on your own can be difficult. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations.
