Which specialist should I see for left arm pain from shoulder to wrist after an escalator accident?

I had an accident yesterday where a lady fell on the escalator in front of me and she grabbed my left arm. I don't know what exactly happened since I just tried to help her not fall more, but I know my left arm has been hurting since then from the shoulder until the wrist. I don't know which specialist to go to who can help me. Where do I go?
