Yes. Anyone can be sued. That doesn't mean there is merit to the claim.
The issuance of a traffic ticket is only evidence of negligence. The absence does not disprove it. Traffic standards are different than negligence standards. Following too closely and being unable to stop can be negligent especially uber difficult driving conditions. Seek legal advice.
