Right of Passenger to Sue Driver

Under Iowa law, a passenger has the right to sue the driver of the vehicle in the event that the driver has caused or contributed to causing a collision regardless of whether it is a multi-vehicle or single vehicle accident. This is settled law in Iowa. Any driver of a vehicle has the duty and obligation to drive carefully, reasonably and prudently. It is almost universally accepted that any automobile or vehicular insurance company provides coverage in the event that the driver of a vehicle is negligent and injures passengers.
