Re: car accident

If you believe that she was at fault, you can sue her to recover for your damages. You can also sue the person who actually owned the car, as well. There is a good chance, however, that they can cross-complain against you for their damages. The judge will have to decide who was at fault and who owes how much to whom. Good luck to you.
