Who can I sue to recover my damages?

 

A: In some cases, an accident victim may be able to sue parties other than the at-fault driver. For example, if the at-fault driver did not own the car, the car's owner may also be liable for your damages. If the at-fault driver was impaired from consuming too much alcohol, you may be able to bring a "dram shop" complaint against a business that served alcohol to the driver even though he was visibly impaired. In some cases, you may be able to bring an action against another party, such as an automobile manufacturer or construction company, if a defect in the vehicle or the roadway caused the accident. If the accident involved a tractor-trailer, the driver's violation of rules and regulations may be the basis for a lawsuit against the driver or his or her employer.

Testimonials

  • I recently was in a terrible car accident that impacted my health, the
    health of my passenger as well as me financially. I contacted Joseph
    Ghabour for his opinion and he was very supportive in calming my
    nerves and addressing my concerns. He literally took the problem from
    me and resolved it while allowing me to focus on the health issues we
    were facing. He gave fantastic advice along the way ensuring that I
    didn't do something that would jeapordize the outcome of the case. I
    am not a litigious person - this was my first and likely my only
    lawsuit - but I felt that with all I was facing I shouldn't have to
    bear the financial burden that was caused by someone else's
    carelessness for the law. Joe kept me informed and ensured that I
    received what I was entitled to covering my expenses and allowing me
    the ability to replace my car without additional financial burden. He
    was calm, understanding and very focused on my case throughout the
    process. I would recommend him to anyone with a legal need.
  • Mr. Ghabour has been patient and available, listening to the circumstances of my case..
