Can a parent company be sued for the independent actions of its subsidiary company and vice-versa?
In this case, both parent and subsidiary companies are LLCs. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

It depends on whether formalities were followed, whether funds were co-mingled etc.
There are a lot of factors to look at and defense that can be argued.

Yes, certainly. You would need to discuss the specific facts of the claim and the relationship between the parent and the subsidiary with an attorney, but typically both entities would be sued in the same lawsuit.
