Your question is difficult to understand, Is this anywhere close to the circumstances? Your sister was killed in A car crash while your brother in law was driving, He had no insurance on the car, Now you want to sue your brother in law? Is that close? In don't think you have any grounds, because your sister was the spouse so she had no insurance either by default. I think the best you could hope for is: prove negligants, and sue for wrongfull death. Still, its A long shot.

∙ 15y agoYou sue the deceased person's estate if there is one. The summons and complaint are served upon the executor just as if they would be served upon the decedent. This becomes a claim against the estate and the executor has to treat it as if it were a debt. The state can deny the claim just as the decedent could have and the matter would go to court as any lawsuit in a car accident would. Generally, the estate just turns the claim over to the insurance company to deal with. The insurance policy remains in effect to cover actions by the decedent prior to his death.

Can you get insurance co using the UM PD to pay for hit and run damage when you did not get the license plate and also you are not insured with Comp and Coll coverage?
UM PD (Uninsured Motorist, Property Damage) may not cover hit and run because this coverage kicks in only when the other party causing the accident is legally uninsured. Since there is no evidence that the other party was legally uninsured then coverage is not provided unless the other hit and run vehicle is discovered and is ruled to be legally uninsured at the time of hit and run accident.

You can use your medical coverage (if you have it) and you should have "uninsured motorist bodily injury" coverage that you can use.
