A: Call the police. If you are hurt, go to the doctor. An attorney can't help you if you aren't hurt.

A:
You should consult anyone of us on Justia right away so we can run a license plate check, find out who his insurance carrier is and file a claim. You are entitled to money for your medical bills, loss of earnings, pain and suffering etc.
Sounds like you have a good case.

A: You hopefully reported it to the police. If you are hurt go see a doctor right away. It could be worse than you think. Then contact a personal injury attorney.
