    I would consult a lawyer first before you spend a lot of money that you may not recover. A lawyer can tell you what your rights are and if he/she thinks you will get a settlement.

    Contact a lawyer first. They will do the rest of the things. You don't need to worry about it. The concern you have is to find a good personal injury lawyer. Check if you already have a working relationship with an attorney who practices in another area, ask him the names of good personal injury lawyers. I know one personal injury law firm Mark Schiffrin PA. They are a good team of lawyers and have more than 30 years of experience in handling personal injury matters. You can visit their website and check whether they can handle your case.
