People sue when they have a claim for compensation--such as arising out of a car accident--and are not paid what they believe they are owed. People do not sue when they get what they want. Presumably, if you pay any damage claims by anyone damaged or injured as a result of the accident, there will be no lawsuit. But if the person is not satisfied by what you pay or offer to pay, they will likely sue both you and the company.
