The police were there, the motorist admitted things in front of the officer as to what she did. I don't think she could have done worse if she had actually intentionally planned to mow me down. So, I hope her insurance company will be forthcoming in covering my medical expenses. If not, I will seek out the attorney.
Based on an experience my wife had and considering the extent of your injuries I think you need one right now. We were even dealing with our own auto insurance company and wish now we had hired one right away.
