The family's lawyer knows that the car owner's lawyer know about the indemnity business. The dealership will be liable and they should be - my bet. Not the first time this has happened in Michigan.
It's strange to put value on a life taken by an accident but it would simplify things if it could be quantified.
I remember that crash out of Detroit in the 1980's where only a little girl survived. The insurance companies went to the parents of a gay man that perished in the crash and, IIRC, he had HIV and they argued he was going to die anyways to reduce the settlement.
A little off topic. Sorry.
