I need to talk to someone about a wreck my brother was in. It happened last night and he’s in the hospital in Cheyenne, WY. He was towing a trailer and the wind caught it and rolled the truck. He can’t do anything right now, so what can I do for him?
Hey, I’m really sorry to hear about your brother. It sounds like a tough situation. Have you thought about getting him a power of attorney (POA)? It could help you make decisions for him if he’s unable to.

POA? What’s that? I don’t really know what it is… can you explain more?

A POA is a legal document that lets you make decisions for someone else if they’re not able to. In your case, it could let you help manage things for your brother while he recovers. You should talk to a lawyer to get one set up!
I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s good that your brother’s getting care, but you might want to talk to a lawyer about getting POA and what else you can do to help while he’s recovering. Wishing him the best.
It’s really hard watching a family member go through something like that. I hope your brother pulls through fast. If you haven’t already, it might be good to look into his insurance policy to see if you need to do anything there.
I know this is tough, but try to make sure you’re taking care of yourself too. It might feel like a lot, but your brother will need you. Take it one step at a time.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m just trying to figure out what I can do right now while he’s stuck in the hospital.
If he can’t take care of stuff himself, maybe you should also look into things like his medical bills or other legal stuff. Having POA can help you with that too if things get complicated.
