Why wouldn't he get a lawyer? they handle ya business for ya and probably will get you more money than you would by yourself. how will you expect to get money for them medical bills to treat his pain? get a lawyer tell him u got in an accident, whereever u hurting cus i'm sure ya ass will be hurting soon if not now by lookin at that car. just hit up a chiropractor or whatever, give em ya claim number, let ya lawyer know wasup and boom bam before u know it you good and ready to go. plus them chiropractor got them traction shit that feels hella good on ya back but if you get one that has a personal massuese, whew boy! it's over. let's just hope it's a female.
