There’s not a lot of information to go on with this scenario however, this is a Personal injury claim at best based on what you’ve written here. Insurance will apply and it will depend on who is at fault and what kind of damages there are. Also does this involve alcohol, drugs, gross negligence? What law will the federal district judge apply? Well first this is usually not a federal case so we would need more information before we can properly answer this question.
