Being in a car wreck not only causes physical trauma, but also emotional trauma.  I know, because I have been in that position.  Not only did I have back injuries, but I also had a broken foot and leg.  My accident was a head on collision that was the fault of a drunk driver.  While I was in the emergency room waiting for assistance for my broken bones, I used my cell phone to call a Chicago Auto Accident Lawyer and give him a quick synopsis of my situation.  He later visited me in the hospital and we worked out the details of the accident.  He let me know that he would do his best to get everything taken care of, and I would owe him nothing unless he got me a settlement.
