2 busted tires...help please...

ok so im driving home from some DAT classes on the 57 N with 2 friends...we're just cruising along in the 4th lane. My exit is coming up in less than a mile so i decide to start changing lanes. Just as i go to check my blind spot, both of my friends are like OOOOOHHHH and even before i could turn my head back in time to see what was up i juss feel my car sort of jump up and then the back lift up and it was a hard hit. At the time, I didnt even know what i hit, but i knew my tires were busted cuz i could feel em dragging.....luckily i managed to get across to the shoulder w/out a problem and get out...my front right and rear right tires are flat...
i talked to my friends that saw what happened and they said there was a car in front of me that apparently changed lanes and only after that guy changed lanes did they see a tire juss sitting there...and with no time to react i smacked it going 75mph...
we called AAA and our parents and stuff...i had it towed to a friends house 5 miles away
so now my question is what do i do? i need to have it towed to a shop, get some tires, get it checked for underbody damage, alignment...anythign else?
anybody in SoCal have recommendations?
any suggestions would help

oh yea, also, the guy who lost his tire was stopped on the shoulder too so i got his information, but i dont know if thats gonna do anything...
thanks guys

Do you have certificate for tire replacement, or road hazard insurance? If you do, the tire replacements will probably be free. Definately check the underside of the car out throughly. Also, when you get new tires, check out to see how the car handles. You might be lucky and things are just fine aside from the tires.
