Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York
A minor child who was a passenger in a car that struck my car and totalled it is now suing me for injuries. This happened in New York. Is this right? Can myself as a victim be sued by this child's mother for his injuries? I was t-bones by the person driving the vehicle that this child was riding in. I am a resident of Massachusetts.

Yes, you can be sued anytime by anyone. You must immediately notify your insurance company that you have been sued and they will assign an attorney to represent you. Sherri L. Plotkin, Esq. Barton Barton & Plotkin LLP. 212-687-6262
More importantly, were YOU injured when your vehicle was struck? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering.
As a general rule, a passenger injured in a vehicle will name both drivers to ensure that at least one (and possibly both) is deemed responsible.
