Many people worry about suing the driver responsible for an accident, particularly if the person at fault is a friend or family member.
In the vast majority of cases the insurance company of the person at fault will be paying for any compensation. This is because the compensation is paid by the compulsory third party insurer of the vehicle at fault. The claim is not made directly against the driver at fault, meaning the driver will not be out of pocket or need a lawyer to represent them.
