How do I sue both parties of the auto accident if I was the passenger?

Yes, you can make a claim against, and even sue, both drivers. You must prove negligence in order to prevail.

You do have a claim and an experienced personal injury lawyer would probably make a claim for you that involves allegations of negligence against both drivers. In this way, you are sure to get a recovery. Also, insurance coverage can be an issue and so it is good to have several insurance policies available. The fact that a rental car was involved also adds another potential level of coverage. If you have further questions, call us for a free consultation.

Yes, you're the injured party so its almost always the best policy to sue both parties and let the court figure it out. One time a man called my office to tell me her daughters were injured when his wife got distracted and swerved across the center line causing a serious accident. I ended up suing the wife and driver of the oncoming vehicle. So you're right on target suing both drivers. In another case I sued seven defendants because it was difficult to determine who was at fault. Both cases ended successfully.

Yes you can sue both.
