So i was hit by a habitual (4th offense) drunk driver, in a company car, at midnight a week or so ago. He was cited for failure to yield at an intersection, and DUI, which is now his 4th offense. I have been diagnosed with a herniated disc in my back and am undergoing medical treatment as well for a soft tissue injury to my knee resulting from the collision. I'm really just happy to be alive...however...

I don't usually like the idea of attorneys, but I feel like this guy should be off the road, and that my frustration, injury, and vehicle deserve some sort of compensation for the shear negligence of the other motorist. He is insured.

Is it worth my time to seek an attorney? If so, will they help with the medical expenses and compensation for the incident? Thanks.

Omg! Yes get an attourney and yes of course he will have to pay everything and then some! He'll pay you a nice big check for pain and suffering and not to mention the attourney fees for you. Sorry bout your troubles! That must be horrible. I hope your gonna be okay and good luck!

Yes, see an attorney. You will probably have to take care of your own medical expenses until there is a judgment or settlement.
Be prepared to pay up to half the proceeds to your attorney.

Yes, it's definitely worth it! If a judge sees his record, you'll win! I'm sure they will FULLY compensate you for you expenses!

I would definitely seek a lawyer. They will get you well deserved compensation and only charge a percentage of the settlement if they collect.

yes, get an attorney.you definitely deserve compensation for all the bills incurred from the accident. most lawyers in cases like yours usually get a percentage of what you win so most likely you won't have to pay up front. someone needs to fight and get that guy off the streets! good luck!

Since you were driving a company car, it's also a company matter. Yes, you should get an attorney.

You should have gotten an attorney immediately

Lawyer
You are an attorney trolling for an attorney to suggest himself so you can yell at him for doing the wrong thing. Get a life!
