Re: mothers death
You certainly could. I depends on the details of the fall. Was the rug loose, the entrance unlighted, or other such facts. It would be very important to try to get some statements from witnesses as to what actually happened. Pictures would be a great help.
Insurance now cancelling would not have an effect if it was in force at time of the fall.
Re: mothers death
First of all, I am sorry for your loss. You most certainly may have legal recourse with respect to your mother's fall. Even if there is no direct liability there is the possiblitiy of other insurance money. You do not have to worry about them letting the policy being cancelled. As long as the policy was in effect when the accident occurred that is all that counts. Please understand that there are some things that should be looked into immediately.
