My husband had a wreck and was the fourth vehical involved. There were no citations issued him or warnings. Yet somehow in the accident report he was said to have been charged with criminal negligence/ homicide bc he couldn't stop in the rain. His vehicle was the eighteen wheeler involved after a truck hydroplaned causing everyone to slam on brakes which in turn made them slide into the path of my husband, who couldn't stop in time and cut through killing an elderly woman. He was not cuffed, cited, or warned for anything. Nor did the DOT find anything wrong with the truck. The wreck was a week ago today, and this is now the first we have heard of the charges. One of the women involved in the accident that he hit first was on drugs that affects a person's ability to drive. We don't know if this helps or not. I would like to know any rights we might have? I'm expecting and very worried as he is our only provider as i am unable to work. My husband's company is well aware of the charges and are working on getting them dismissed. However, i know it is always good to have a plan b. I need to know anything that might help if the company fails us bc the state pushes it too hard , and we need to bring in an attorney of our own. The company has already called in a team from Houston to do reconstruction of the wreck and have found in favor of my husband, as well as criminal investigators. But the trooper that was there first is determined to make the charges stick to my husband. I am trying to get in touch with lawyers who deal with criminal defense, it's just a matter of which questions i need to ask, etc. -
