Should i call a personal injury lawyer?

About 4 days ago this chick hit my truck from behind pretty hard. There was hardly any damage to my rubber bumper but the police and ambulance came and did a report. Since then my lower back has been hurting off and on and there is some tightness so i plan on seeing an orthopedist soon. Should i call the chick's insurance company first or should i call an ambulance chaser to file a claim? Actually, i have been feeling mesothelioma-ish lately....

1. You should go to the doctor first then contact a lawyer and let them handle the insurance company
2. Get checked out by an orthopedist, if he says that there is some damage/injury, then you need to call an attorney that you know, not one of those ambulance chasers who advertise on t.v. Ask your friends or a lawyer you have used in another field to recommend an attorney. I'm sure there is a rating site somewhere if you don't know of anyone who has used a personal injury lawyer in the past. You don't want to try and deal with the insurance company, they will never be helpful. You don't have to file a suit, but you should let the attorney handle the grunt work or at least direct you on the best course of action. Most good attorneys will tell you how to handle something and tell you that if it gets to a certain point then come back to them and they will handle it.
3. Too bad you didn't get mesothelioma... ...YOU'D BE SET FOR LIFE!!!!!
4. Get checked out with a doctor first and tell him everything that is hurting so it is recored. If the doctor comes back and says you have been injured contact a personal injury solicitor as you not have documented evidence of your injury from a professional. Your personal injury solicitor will then handle the rest of the case keeping you informed on the way.
