What is the name of your state? Tennessee
My father in law, a 60 year old man had congestive heart failure. He had an appointment for setting up a date for valve replacement surgery. Before that could happen, he blacked out while driving and hit the side of a building due to the heart. They went ahead and done the valve replacement surgery within days of the accident.
The damage was minimal to the building, and he had insurance. The stores estimate turned in was less than the amount he had so it didn't seem like it would be a problem. However, then my father in law passed away with complications of the valve replacement. The store now will not take the check for the amount originally agreed upon and has 'found' other damage (we do have have several employees to testify it is made up) and wants to file a claim against the estate. The insurance company says not to worry about it that there is a law that says he can't get anymore than the insurance because the accident was medically related but he can't tell what the law is and I can't find it. Is is real? What does it state? What can the store owner actually do? If that is true, can we keep him from tying things up longer?
