What is the name of your state?
Florida
My son hit a drunk man who was crossing the road and the man died instantly. The deceased was 0.27% over the limit and my sun was not charged or even ticketed.
Our insurance company declined to pay any damages to the family of the deceased because, under the new FLroida tort law passed in 1999 they are not entitled to any compensation.
My son has been now served with a law suit for compensation and the insur co is taking care of it.
My question is: if the insur company declines to settle once again can the family of the deceased sue my son (he was 21 at the time of the accident) directly? What usually happens next in this case? Is the insurance company go to court to win this case?
