Yes, a passenger can recover injuries if they meet the no fault threshold in both New York and New Jersey. Who the defendant will be depends upon who was responsible for the accident. Sometimes it’s the host vehicle. Sometimes it’s the other vehicle. Sometimes it’s both vehicles, and a claim is usually made against all drivers involved.
