- Q. Daughter died in motorcycle crash. She has 3 kids my other daughter and husband have custody and care of. Who files?

Under that statute, the children and you as parent all have wrongful death claims that can be pursued. Generally claims can either be brought by the personal representative of the estate of the decedent or individually by the various claimants. In this case, the claims of the minor children can be brought by their legal guardians. You can learn more here https://hepworthholzer.com/practice_areas/wrongful-death-attorneys/

- Q. Can I go back to the insurance company and renegotiate my settlement - am finding the money doesn't cover care.
- A: Generally speaking the answer is no. The whole point if a settlement is that you release the claim. Insurance companies often try to get people to settle for less than a claim is worth and that is one of the reasons to have a good attorney involved in evaluating your case in the first place. There is some Idaho law that will allow a person to rescind a prior settlement in very limited circumstances.
