My husband and a co-worker were in an accident on their way home from work. A car full of teens ran a stop sign and pulled right out in front of them. My husband suspects that drinking or drugs were involved because the boys ran from the car trying to flee. 2 of the boys came back and the other 2 took off. Also my husband said he thought he heard a cop say that the driver was only 15 – not even old enough to have a license. Our car was totaled and my husband and his coworker sustained some injuries, and my husband wants to consult our lawyer. Someone told my husband to call the lawyer within 24 hours, but I told him I didn’t think he had to call that soon. How soon do we need to call?
