Posting on behalf of someone else (PA, USA). My friend’s (call her Jane) spouse (John) passed away summer of 2024. In early 2023, John was in a car accident and his car was totaled. He was found not at fault. A couple of weeks ago, Jane received notice that John and Jane are being sued for emotional damages from the accident. Despite John having passed, Jane was told by the suing party that because her name was on the same auto insurance policy, she is liable (despite not being on the title and was not in the car during the accident). Jane is getting representation but I’m curious what, if any, responsibility she has or if this is a Hail Mary from the suing party to recoup some money before the statute of limitation runs up. Is it possible that they could be saying he was at fault? If he had been deemed at fault in the first place, would that change anything here? Thanks for any information, hoping to provide some peace of mind to a friend while they look for a lawyer.
