My roomate was in a car accident with a rental car in February this year. He was driving toward downtown Cleveland and large amounts of snow ran off onto the highway. His car hydroplaned and collided with another car. Both cars were totaled. The other vehicle owner is suing the rental insurance and my friend just received a letter from the rental insurance company to expect a summons.
Other factors:
Rental Car tire pressure light was on. Enterprise stated that they checked the pressure and that everything was fine.
The car was towed by the city and my friend could not get his prescription medications out of the vehicle for over a week.
The city usually puts a high water sign up in that area, but the sign was not put up until after the accident.
No one was cited in the police report.
Both drivers sustained minor sprains and bruises and we're taken to the ER.
No one has a clear idea of exactly how the accident happened.
Does my friend need a lawyer or is he ok since he bought the the car rental insurance? Any suggestions?
