Got Hit By A Drunk Driver Last Night And Need Advice

Card image cap

Location: Atlanta Georgia

We were pulling into my driveway last night when a woman rear ended us doing 50 or 60 mph. She didn't even hit here brakes. I honestly felt my brain move to the back of my skull when she hit us, it's hard to describe. The cops took down everyone's info and injuries then gave the lady a sobriety test and arrested her. She was obviously drunk. We (myself and the other passengers) wanted to get checked out medically but our driver who is also our landlord and runs the sober living house we stay at said we couldn't. We have to do what she says bc we are living at a sober living place and are court ordered to be here.

Im probably going to go to the hospital tonight but im honestly hesitant to drive now and I have a headache and some dizziness and my back hurts so i really dont want to drive myself but i have no option. If our driver​ wasn't driving a tank of a jeep then we'd all have been injured much worse.

My question is wtf do I do? Idk how to find a good lawyer in my area or anything like that and im completely broke and don't have health insurance. Im living at a sober living/rehab place and trying to get my life back together and this happens. We were on the way back from a NA meeting and got hit by a drunk driver lol.
