More details to this question:
A friend of mine was involved in a car wreck which took a life. He was found not guilty by the police but the parent of the child is wanting to sue him. He's very upset bc it wasnt his fault and feels horrible. Chances are they are going after pain and suffering, since they are sueing him for that can he turn around and sue them for the same thing? Only reason he's thinking about doing it was bc he feels blind sided with the idea of being sued. He was found completly innocent.

Being found not guilty in a criminal case does not prevent being sued in civil court, the standards are different. Your friend should consult with his insurance carrier about them providing representation for him. That is part of what he pays them for when he bought his insurance policy.
