I think you should sue both. The driver was in the accident and might of caused the accident. And the owner of the vehicle should be sued also, he did not have insurance for the vehicle.

you sue the driver

The insurance follows the car, not the driver. Whoever the driver is insured under will be in trouble, though you can probably get both.

I think you can sue the driver, and the insurance company (if applicable). But the owner is faultless. Good luck

if the person has insurance, the owner would have to pay you anything. You will have to deal with his/her insurance. The rest is to be dealt with the insurance and the owner and driver.

If no insurance:
The driver

Both.

Sue them both. They are both legally responsible.

I Think The OWNER is responsible If the owner of a vehicle lets a drunk behind the wheel the owner too can be charged with a DUI

Sue both of them. Whoever has the deepest pockets will end up paying you. Get a lawyer and get going on this right away.
