I was tboned by a drunk driver that was doing 60 and blew a red light. Where to start????
Asked in Boring, OR on February 23, 2026 Last answered on April 8, 2026Miraculously, I only received some whiplash, a bruise, and a dislocated thumb. The doctors tried saying my thumb is carpal tunnel and that it would just get better and to use it more, but it's only gotten worse. The drunk driver does have insurance and is entirely at fault. The urgent care doctor said an MRI of my thumb was unethical when I didn't even request one, but came in because of the pain that was shooting up my arm whenever I put any pressure by trying to open something simple, which I still can't. I don't even know where to begin looking for an attorney. Please help.

Thank you for sharing that with us. Even if you were initially told it was minor, worsening thumb pain and pain shooting up your arm should be taken seriously, especially after a crash like this. Since the other driver was insured and clearly at fault, this would be a good time to speak with a personal injury attorney about your options and next steps.
