My 85 year old father in law was in a car accident last July and died within a few days of that injury. He was hit by a woman who was driving with a suspended license. The accident was his fault in that and he was behind and following a rather large truck and did not see the light change when they were at an intersection and the woman hit his car. A former highway patrol officer and this was his first and only car accident of his life. Anyway, my husband's family inheritance was in a bank trust that has already been distributed to him and his sister. Now, of course the woman has decided to sue. My question is, can my husband's family be sued for this trust money? My father in law had very good insurance and I'm sure they're going after that, but we received a phone call today from an attorney who is representing this 'lady' and all he would say is that he is contacting everyone. Is my husband's inheritance in jeopardy from someone who legally shouldn't have been on the street to begin with?
