Accident was caused by , the negligence of a semi truck driver makeing a sudden illegal u-turn .
Clearly marked "NO U-TURNS"!
In a marked 50 mph zone.
more info needed.
you need to hire a private lawyer asap so an investigation can be commenced.
if you can't afford a private lawyer request a public defender.
I'm not sure about the question, but the charges are very serious and you need to 1) no longer ask about this on a website--the website is public and DA's offices do look at them ; (2) contact an attorney who handles criminal defense. 3) if sued, turn it over to your insurance company.
Contact any attorney for a Free Consult on your case, there are many questions and issues to review. Many attorneys will even offer free consult over the phone if that is easier than in person at the office.
Good Luck.
Depending on your income and assets, you may qualify for a government lawyer, ask for a referral to the public defender when you appear in court the first time.
Was a police/incident Traffic Collision Report generated? If so.. get a copy and sit down with a personal injury attorney to discuss options.
There could be a personal injury claim arising out of this for the decedent and any injured. Consult with a PI attorney.
