My girld friends husband was in a car accident he lost control of the car and killed himself and his g/f.?

Yes, the family of the girl friend can sue the owner of the vehicle and the insurance carrier on the car. the girl friend is not related to the driver and her family can sue them.

Well, did the insurance company kill them?? Why do you think they can be sued?
Idiot.

Sorry, you can't sue for the death of your girlfriend's husband.

This gets complicated:

Your girlfriend can't recover from anyone for her husband's death because his death was his fault. BUT: check to see what insurance her husband had.

The family (parents/children) of your girlfriend's husband's girlfriend can sue your girlfriend's husband (i.e., his estate and his insurer) for their loss.

Hope this helps.

Yes they can. I am wondering how your friend feels about her husband being killed in an accident with his girlfriend. Does she think he got what he deserved for cheating on her, or is she devastated?

i am real sorry to here that and no they cant sue anyone

True Blue

No, I don't think so.

I don't understand why would anyone want to do that? Life is full of a lot of problems, none is as bad as an unexpected death, it will rip the soul out of the families. Most can't imagine the sorrow and grief that result. What would be the end result even if one could sue?

If he has insurance, it will pay up to the policy limits. Lawsuits shouldn't be necessary unless the damage claim is for more than the policy limits and he has significant resources that could be attached to satisfy the judgement.

Sounds like a messy situation. Sorry your friend has to be put through this.

Just because you put a question mark behind it doesn't make it a question. The way this works is you ask a question even if its vague. Then you get this really big box below the ? that is where you put your statements that clarify what answer you are looking for.

and probably not because there is nothing the insurance company should compensate them for. IN FACT, SCUM LIKE YOU THAT ARE SUE CRAZY ARE THE REASON THAT IT IS GETTING SO EXPENSIVE TO MAKE IT THESE DAYS. WHY WOULD YOU ASK SUCH A STUPID ?. When there is no one at fault (if this is indeed an accident) why should someone pay because he simply lost control of the car. It's tragic that it happened, but unless somepart of the car f*cked up or if he was drunk you should go about your lives and stop tring to get rich off horrible things like that

Duh! You can't sue yourself. The only person entitled to a settlement for injury or in this case death is the family of the passenger who died. A negligent driver cannot recover damages against his own liability coverage for anything. That's not what insurance is for.

Suits are not brought against insurance companies for losses of this kind. You would have to sue the negligent person (in this case the dead driver) and that just won't work. The only time you can sue an insurance company is in a situation that does not match up with this one (not even going to put the idea in your head). Give it up. Unfortunately, you can try anything with regard to litigation, but it doesn't mean you'll succeed.

S h i t, u can sue for ANYTHING anymore!

Marym;

The answers given by "Lizc" and "Joyceela" are basically correct. If your friends husband was the sole registered owner of the car there would be no insurance liability because you cannot financially enrich your self through your own negligence.

If your friend was a co-registered owner of the car (she) could claim against the loss of the car , but the auto policy would not pay on the death of her husband. If he had life insurance she could claim on that.

The heirs of the husbands girlfriend would have a valid action against the registered owner of the car she died in for her death. The insurance company would only be acting as an agent on behalf of the owner of the car in any law suit.

The insurance company has nothing to do with it.
Why are you trying to sue the insurance company.

You can't sue an insurance company for the driver's mistake. You just stated it..HE lost control.The insurance company was not driving the car
