A:
I am terribly sorry to hear this. Yes, you should absolutely talk with a lawyer, and you should do so as soon as possible. Do not make any recorded or written statements until you speak with an experienced attorney. Your injuries are very serious, and you need an attorney to ensure you take the best course of action moving forward to ensure you obtain the recovery you deserve.
Many of us offer free consultations, and will represent you on a contingent basis, so it will not cost you anything out of pocket to have an experienced attorney working for you to ensure your recovery is maximized.
