Re: Can parents of a non-minor driver be sued if the driver is killed
Anyone can sue anyone, or at least attempt to. The likelihood of success depends on what the insurance policy says, and a few other details. The more likely scenario is that the passenger could sue the estate of the driver, which might involve the driver's parents, in that matter.
