Can I sue the driver of the car I was riding in if I was injured in a New York car accident?

Video Description

Yes, you can sue the driver of the vehicle you were riding in if you're in a car accident in New York. The idea is that the driver has a responsibility to act reasonably behind the wheel. And you also, at the end of the day, you want to sue everyone who may have been responsible for your accident. It's just a fact of how litigation works that they're going to likely be brought into the litigation anyway by the other defendant that you sue, and it's really important to protect all of your rights in these cases.
