Injured passenger needs advice!
I was involved in an auto accident. I had a passenger in my car. My passenger was injured and still requires surgery. He does not have the money for the surgery nor do I. Neither I or the other driver were issued any tickets saying the accident was either of our faults. I know that the other driver was at fault and my passenger has said it was the other drivers fault. He is not looking to sue me for any damages, but I would like to know if he can sue the other driver. From the police report it is apparent that she ran a red light at a high rate of speed. She hit me broadside on the passenger side of the car with her entire front end and totaled both our vehicles. From the beginning neither I nor my passenger can figure out why the other driver was not cited per her statements in the report. She stated that I had yellow light and did not see me until the last second. I know I had a green light that changed yellow as I went across the intersection. I have the right to proceed through the intersection even if the light changes to yellow as I am in the intersection. This tells me that either way, if I had yellow or green, she had a red light. I was pushed a full block from the impact which tells me she was moving right along. I don’t understand why she was not cited. We need to know what are options are.
