Legal Question in Personal Injury in United States

No. you cannot be sued. If you were hurt, you can bring an injury claim against the driver's insurance policy.

Not unless you did something to cause the accident. You may have a claim against the driver.

both of the other lawyers who responded are correct. if you didnt do anything to contribute to the cause of the accident you cannot be sued and you should contact an attorney about bringing your own claim

Not unless you did something to cause the accident.

You will have no liability unless you somehow caused the driver to become distracted and cause the accident. In almost all passenger situations, you will not need to worry about being sued. In fact, if you were injured in the accident, you would be able to make a claim against the driver for his negligent actions.

Only way you could have any potential liability is if you in some way contributed to the accident. I have seen cases where the passenger was aware of the driver being under the influence of alcohol or drugs and permitted them to drive anyways resulting in an accident. Or the passenger is aware of some other reason that the driver should not have been driving. If you were injured in this accident, you should contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your potential claims against both drivers. I am happy to answer any other questions that you may have.

You can always be sued, but it is unlikely you would lose unless you contributed to the crash in some way.

You were the passenger not the driver so ordinarily you can't be sued unless you did something that contributed to causing the wreck. But there are exceptions. Was the car your car? Was the driver known to be a bad driver by you and you allowed him to drive your car anyway? Was the driver a relative of yours (son, daughter, spouse) who you provided the car to for their use? Those are possible avenues where you could be sued successfully. Unless one of those situations exists I doubt you have anything to worry about.
