Many motor vehicle accident cases are in the tort doctrine of negligence. Negligence is defined as a inability to exercise the standard of care that would be expected of someone who is reasonably prudent in similar circumstances. Accidents involving cars often involve multiple factors which may cause or contribute to the accident. A driver's negligence may include driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs speeding, or not paying attention to traffic signs. Other factors include distracted driving like using a cell phone or attempting to apply makeup while driving.

There are some instances where two victims in a car accident would like the same attorney to represent them. But, it is ethically unwise for one attorney to represent both the passenger and driver in a personal injury claim. This is because each client has conflicts of interest. This can be avoided by creating separate agreements between each client. Alternately, the passengers can hire their own lawyers to file a suit against the driver.
