Fortunately, the 32-year-old suffered only minor injuries from the accident.According to media reports, a 16-year-old girl lost control of her Volkswagen Bug, careened toward the side of a mountain and then swerved into the SUV Harris was riding in.

When a crash is caused by a negligent driver, injured victims have the option of filing a personal injury lawsuit against that individual for damages. A lawsuit can be filed whether or not police file criminal charges over the incident. A successful lawsuit could bring an injured victim financial compensation for medical bills and lost income.
