Who Can Sue in a Car Accident Case? (More parties than you thought)

Excerpted from Lexology by Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC

If you have been injured in a car accident, you are likely focused on filing a lawsuit against the driver of the other vehicle. While that is always a possibility, there are others against whom you can file a personal injury claim.
