Accident liability question; should we just get a lawyer?
First off, knowing where this happened would help you get better answers. Different states have different laws and statute of limitations.(SOL) FYI the shortest SOL I know of is one year. If you have collision coverage with your company use it. The most you are out would be your collision deductible. Then your company will argue with the snow plows company over who is at-fault. If you don’t have collision coverage then your options are limited because there are no witnesses and it’s each drivers word vs. the other ones. Getting a lawyer won’t help you because your husband can’t prove that the accident happened how he explains it. No lawyer is going to change that. Frankly, I don’t think you have a case. Your husband saw the snow slowing down and assumed it would stop. That just isn’t the right decision. Your husband should have stayed put until he knew the snow plow was actually stopped, especially on icy roads.
