The driver of the semi-truck was taken to the hospital and released, and the driver involved in the initial rollover crash was also treated and released.

Why Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer is Important After a Truck Accident

A personal injury lawyer may be needed in this case if the injured good Samaritan or the family of the deceased good Samaritan wants to pursue legal action against the semi-truck driver or the trucking company. The lawyer can assist in investigating the accident and gathering evidence to support a claim for compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. The lawyer can also negotiate with insurance companies and represent the client in court if necessary. It is important to consult a personal injury lawyer promptly after an accident to protect your rights and ensure that you receive fair compensation.
