After a two car wreck in Lucedale, MS, a good samaritan who helped the accident victims died of a heart attack at the local hospital. A 1997 Pontiac crossed over Highway 98 causing the accident with a 2006 Ford F-350 truck. It was a broadside collision and both vehicles came to rest about 75 ft. away. The car had two passengers in it,neither of which were wearing a selt belt. The three year old had no child seat.
WHO CAN SUE WHOM AND WHY? The driver of the truck can sue the driver of the car for pulling out in front of his vehicle. The passengers in the car can sue their driver for pulling out in front of the truck;also, someone was negligent for allowing the 3 yr. old baby to be riding in the car without a child safety seat. The good samaritan may be able to make a claim against the driver of the car if his family can prove that the accident and his helping out thereafter contributed to his heart attack and subsequent death.
