Who Should You Sue After a Car Accident?

By James H. 10/14/2022

If you've been injured in a car accident that wasn't your fault, you may be wondering who you can sue for damages. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, you may be able to sue the other driver, the driver's insurance company, or the manufacturer of the car.

If you're considering filing a lawsuit after a car accident, here are some of the people or entities you may be able to sue:

If the Other Driver Was at Fault

If the other driver was at fault, you may be able to sue that driver for damages. This may include medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages. You may also be able to sue for pain and suffering, but this is more difficult to prove and may be more difficult to win.

The driver's insurance company. If the other driver was uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to sue their insurance company for damages.

If the Car Had a Defect


If the car had a defect that caused the accident, you may be able to sue the car manufacturer or the dealer. This may include defects in the car's design, construction, or warnings. You may also be able to sue for pain and suffering, but this is more difficult to prove and may be more difficult to win.

It's important to note that these are just general guidelines, and you should speak to a lawyer to find out who is responsible for your specific case.
