Q: Hi my friend used to drive an ambulance, while driving in accident getting sued what kind of lawyer is needed, Colorado
Hi my name is Mary and I am a resource navigator I have a client who needs a lawyer but I am unsure what kind of lawyer to help her find. She is 19 and used to drive an ambulance, while driving she was in an accident she just was served stating she and the ambulance company is being sued. What kind of lawyer does she need? I appreciate your help. and happy holidays
A: A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It sounds like your friend needs an insurance defense attorney. Occupants of the other vehicle are apparently making a claim for bodily injury or property damage, or both. She should make a copy of the papers she was served with and present the originals to the ambulance company she works for. They should turn the matter over to their insurance carrier. If she is an employee and was injured in the course of her employment, she could also look into arranging a free initial consult with a workers' comp attorney. Good luck
