Yes, you probably were in "shock". So it's understandable if you made decisions in the moment that might be different from what you might think you should have done with the benefit of time to carefully think about it.
I have mixed feelings about whether or not to call an attorney, so I won't weigh in on that. (It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback from a distance.) But I can confirm that calling your own insurance company could backfire on you. Even if you're not responsible in the end, your rates could still go up substantially. Unfortunately, I've learned that from personal experience (but different situation).
I'm glad you decided to go get yourself examined asap. Hope it turns out to not be anything serious! |
