Six months ago my son was killed in an autombile accident. He left a wife and two small chiildren. His wife was appointed fiduciary of his estate. It appears he left an abundance of debt behind with no assets to cover these debts.
My question refers to suing the automobile manufacturer, BMW, in view that the safety air bags did not deploy and could have possibly saved his life. As parents can we sue BMW on our own, for our loss as parents. without the fiduciary or estate involved? Nothing can ever replace my son's life but I believe there was some faulty design in this vehicle and we as parent would like to go ahead and pursue this litigation without his wife or the estate getting involved.
Is this legal? Do attorneys typically take this type of litigation on a contingency type of billing? If his wife is suing BMW simultaneously, is it counter productive for us take up our own law suit with a different attorney, etc. We just are exasperated with the follow up of his widow. This accident occured in the state of CONNECTICUT.
Thanks Very Much For Your Help!
