Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Personal Injury Question
My mother was in a car accident two years ago. She has sinced passed away (not as a result of the accident). We recently received notice from my mother's insurance company that there could be a pending lawsuit for damages. The estate has been long settled. What happens? Are her children responsible?

Re: Personal Injury Question
I assume you are referring to a potential excess claim. Her estate would be responsible and (while doubtful) the assets thereof traced to the beneficiaries. The estate may want to retain its private attorney to monitor the insurance carrier and lawsuit, which is something I do frequently.

Re: Personal Injury Question
You should check with the insurance company if a lawsuit was actually filed as there is a two year statute of limitations after her death. There should be no liability on children unless they were owners of the car at the time of accident.
