The lawyers involved will find many responsible people including both your son and daughter. There is a law that allows an insurance company to go after other insured drivers within the same household. The pedestrian who was hit will also be able to access their insurance if they are a licensed driver iwth insurance because the accident involved a motor vehicle.
