You should get to a personal injury attorney immediately. You will need to file suit if he was not at fault in the acvident.. for his loss. Otherwise, you will need to file a succession and be appointed as executor so you can settle anything with insurance company. Phil Bohrer, 225-925-3236, 8712 Jefferson Hwy, Ste. B, Baton Rouge, LA. is a very reputable personal injury attorney. You can tell him Mandie Lucas sent you if you want. There are several very good estate attorneys in Baton Rouge, but this would be a simple succession- with the only asset being the proceeds from the accident. You have only one year from death to file the personal injury suit.
