Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

Re: Is ex-husband entitled to insurance proceeds of son killed in motorcycle acc

My firm does lots of motorcycle work. Your question depends upon a number of things. The statute provides that certain people are entitled to take under the estate when no will exists. I would need more information toproperly give you an answer. In general, he may be entitled but there are circumstances which could prevent him form taking money.. A court will need to be invovled. If you need representation let me know.

Re: Is ex-husband entitled to insurance proceeds of son killed in motorcycle acc

Unfortunately, unless your son had a will, then his father and you would divide any settlement proceeds equally. While it might be possible to try to convince the court that the father abandoned his son and provided no support, that he should not be entitled to his share, this would be very difficult.
