Re: car accident and owner of the car is deceased
They won't pay you. The claim was your mother's claim, not yours. You will need to open an estate. Conceivably, the insurance company would write you a check, but I doubt it because it would not eliminate their liability to your mother's estate. You can call and ask; never hurts.
