If I am a Passenger in a Car Accident, Can I sue the Driver of the Car I was in?

The answer is yes assuming the driver of your vehicle was at fault. Usually, when we’re discussing a Riverview car accident lawsuit, we’re talking about suing the driver of another car or truck that hit the car the victim was in. But, there are many examples in which the passenger of a car has the right to sue the driver next to him or her for negligence in causing personal injuries, or, in some cases, the family of the passenger brings a Tampa Bay wrongful death lawsuit. A driver’s Florida liability insurance policy does not just apply to other vehicles on the road, but can also provide protection for a passenger in the driver’s own vehicle.
