Transcript:

You can sue the driver of the car you were riding in when you are injured in an accident, as long as that driver was negligent. Negligence in Rhode Island is defined as doing something that a reasonable person would not have done under the circumstances or failing to do something that a reasonable person would have done had they been involved in that same circumstance.
