Are you already represented by an attorney? If so, you should definately give the info to him/her. Also, many medical providers will provide treatment on a lien, meaning that they will be paid from the proceeds from a lawsuit. Do you have the cell phone information for the driver? Just the number? Or the name?

If you have an attorney, give this information to your attorney and let his/her investigator deal with this. If you do not have an attorney, find someone to deal with this. This is beyond what most people should deal with without legal help.

You were not completely clear as to whether or not you are represented by an attorney. If so, sumbit what ever information that you have to him/her. If you are not represented, you should hire an attorney as this matter involves complex issues that few are able to handle on their own. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
