Yes, you would be sued both as an employee (meaning your employert would be sued) and you would be sued personally. This is because it is possible that whatever you were doing might be considered outside the svope of your employment, thereby possibly letting the employer off the hook with you being the sole defendant. That would be standard practice in any such case. Plaintiff sues you and your employer and gets both the employer's and your insurance companies in the case and gets a better chance at getting a settlement because each company mgiht agree to pay half of the damages instead of having only one to foot the entire bill. Plus, even if plaintiff does not sue you, the employer might bring you into the case as a third-party defendant claiming that you were the real one At Fault.

You sold a car over a year ago and now you just got a letter from a lawyer stating the car was involved in an accident and you are responsible for someones severe injuries?

You only have to prove that though the car is yours now, you were not the one driving thus you are not liable. And in the first place, how can a car be sold without any clearance? If you need a good lawyer, the link below will lead you to one.


Can you claim on someones insurance for accident caused due to them parking on a corner blocking view of road?

No. It would be highly unlikely that you could ever prove liability of a vehicle that was not in motion at the time of your accident, even less likely if if that vehicle was not illegally parked.
