hello all,
My son in law is a Canadian resident and had been here in the United States since marriage. one day he received word from Canada that his mother had been run over and killed by a drunk driver. He went back to Canada to settle her estate, etc, there he had hired an attorney. but for an year he didnt receive an offer to settle from the auto insurance company of the accused. now his attorney advised him that the insurance company was not required to settle with any family member who was married. they are not titled to compensation. Is this a scam of some kind? What recourse, if any, does he have?
thank you!
