You may be liable for a car accident and be sued for negligence, even if you weren’t driving or in the car.

All you need is a clear agreement and mutual promises to exchange things of value.
Lots of contracts are filled with mind-bending legal gibberish, but there's no reason why this has to be true. For most contracts, legalese is not essential or even helpful. On the contrary, the agreements you'll want to put into a written contract are best expressed in simple, everyday English.

Writing down the details after an accident is more accurate than relying on your memory.
One of the first things you should do after you are injured is write down everything you can about your accident, including details of your injuries and their effect on your daily life.

If you are on a bicycle and get into an accident with a car or truck, what you do at the accident scene and immediately after is crucial.
When bikes get into accidents with cars, it’s scary. (Fortunately, most bicycle accidents do not involve cars.) If you are the one riding the bike, it’s important to keep your wits about you after the crash. What you do in the immediate aftermath of the accident may have a big impact on how much you recover for your injuries and damage to your bike.

How to decide who is legally at fault for an accident or personal injury.
Determining legal responsibility for an accident or injury (often called "liability") can be complicated, but often rests on whether someone was careless or "negligent." It's easy enough to say that the person or business that caused an accident must pay for your injuries. But before you get to that point, you must determine who was legally at fault...etc.

Establish who's at fault in a car, motorcycle, or bicycle accident or crash.
As with other types of accidents, figuring out who is at fault in a traffic accident is a matter of deciding who was careless -- or "negligent," in legalese...etc.

Learn about negligence -- a legal theory for proving fault in car accident cases.
