Video Transcript:

Passenger in the accident can sue because they’re actually in the best position to be victorious, and so of course, yes, they can sue. There are some caveats that may prevent you to sue, spousal immunity, things of that nature. Typically speaking, yes, of course you can sue as a passenger, and I would encourage that because you bear no responsibility whatsoever in an accident. Especially a car accident, where 2 other parties did something to cause that accident. So there is no way for you to contribute, cause, or create that accident, which essentially eliminates the liability aspect of the case all in all. Therefore, you move straight to damages. What is the case worth, and were these injuries causally related to that specific incident? So you’re sitting in a pretty bright spot as a passenger.
