Yea I know a lot is still sinking in. I can feel my leg is sore and I'm sure theres going to be a dark bruise their tomorrow. I know it sounds like a dumb question but should I go to the hospital tomorrow just to check everything out? I don't have any medical coverage right now (26 yr old college student) Is it worth it to check it out? Also anyone that knows or has had this happen, how does getting a rental car work from his insurance company?

Thanks for all the responses.

Yes. I am a huge skimp on money, but you should definitely get checked out. There are a lot of things that can happen physically that you may not even notice but can haunt you down the road ... neurological injuries or even torsion-related bone bruises that can lead to avascular necrosis. Hopefully you'll just end up with a clean bill of health and a pesky bill of expenses. Any medical expenses you incur are probably material for lawsuit against the drunk, I would think ... but my knowledge of law is pretty meek. Either way, get it checked out. It will cost you a lot more if something's wrong and you don't treat it right.

Good luck.

I think your back hurts too...

You have a personal injury case. The settlement could easily pay for a replacement car.
