Anyone get in a multicar crash?

I was hit last night, smashed , by a jeep behind me, but someone slammed into HIM first. I never got to take a pic of jeep that hit me, but got his name and the cops were doing all the work with the report details. They handed me a card with the Accident report number. My car was towed and I've never been through any of this. I'm assuming I call my insurance tomorrow to report it, but after that, I'm not sure if it all. 😩 My back bumper and trunk are really smashed so not sure if it'll be replaced or what. Any ideas ?
I am ok thank goodness but had whiplash neck pain this morning.

I had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me about 10 years ago.

-DO NOT talk to his insurance company when they call.... Instead "hire" a good accident injury attorney.
-DO NOT SHARE anything with the adjuster they will send out to look at your car. He works for them, not you. DO NOT cash the check he will give you!
-Here they have accident doctor clinics (Emergency chiropractic). Take the accident report # the ops gave you and go see them to get x-rays and start "whiplash" treatment.

LISTEN AND FOLLOW THE SDVICE OF YOUR ATTORNEY. He works for you.

@Threepio good advice.

@Threepio Wouldn't all our insurance companies be getting the same accident report? I thought any info, they'd call my insurance agent, not me personally? I can't afford an attorney 😩

@Coralmist Your insurance company should do all the work. That's what you pay them for.

@Coralmist The attorney generally will take your case for FREE. As in the will take a cut of what the guilty parties insurance co pays you to "settle your case".

@Threepio Do you always need to get a lawyer?
