If an immigrant gets into a car accident and the car accident was not his fault, Can he get someone to defend him in court? An immigrant acquaintance was struck by a drunk driver. He was not at fault to the accident but since he did not have a state license they charged all the blame to him. Can he get a lawyer or is case done. Just think it was unfair for him to get blamed for all just because he did not know English to defend himself and because he did not have a license. Any input would be great appreciated.
