Obviously, your son is going to need an attorney. There is absolutely no point in speculating as to who will be liable and for how much, either here, with friends, family or co-workers. As tragic and unusual as this situation is for you, there are professionals that deal with similar situations with regrettable regularity. They can discuss the possibilities with your son. Hopefully, your son will be up and about before too long and able to hire one himself--assuming he is an adult.

Traffic accident question?


It is important in retaining an attorney to treat it like the major purchase that it is. (Even if you never shell out any money out of pocket, your attorney will earn a large fee). It is hard to give this ample attention when you are in the midst of a crisis, but it could not be more important. If your son was on the job when the accident happened, he will need to see an attorney about worker's compensation, in addition to pursuing a claim directly against whomever caused his injuries. Find someone who specializes in both worker's compensation and personal injury law. Ask to speak with their former clients. If you know a good attorney that specializes in another area of the law, ask him/her who he/she would go to if they had a problem like your son's. Speak with more than one attorney before retaining someone. Go with the person who seems most competent, not the one who tells you what you want to hear.

Based on the limited information you have listed here, I would say that the truck was at fault. Talk with your insurance or more precisely what insurance the car has and see what they say. Read the police report, it should list who is at fault. Contact the trucking company's insurance. Then talk with an attorney. They will help you hire a traffic crash reconstruction expert. The reconstructionist will be able to determine who is at fault and to what degree both driver's actions contributed to the crash.

Do more car accidents happen on the highways or on local streets?

You don't need a lawyer. Just get a copy of the accident report from the cops to see who was listed at fault, and see the insurance information. If the truck was at fault, that insurance should pay medical and 3x medical bills for pain and suffering. If the co-worker was at fault, the policy on the car should pay medical and 3x pain and suffering. If you need free advice, call your insurance agent and tell the story and see what he thinks. You might talk to the billing department at the hospital as well, they could likely steer you in the right direction.
