Yes as they may claim the way you were parked caused the accident. The lawyer would then have a conflict of interest in representing both of you.

I believe it may be best for you to have different attorneys; the facts of the case would likely bear this out but you have to sign a waiver if you want the same attorney to represent both of you.

Yes, since it is unclear whether the location of where your vehicle was parked contributed to the accident. Ultimately, that may not be an issue but at this juncture that is unknown. I would be happy to give you an absolutely FREE consultation. Please email me at [email protected] or call 347-702-4133 today.

Best of luck,
