Sue him. If he has insurance, then they will be the ones that will hire his counsel, pay the bills, etc... If he doesn't have insurance, then your grandmother will be the new owner of that gas station.

Another option is to see what kind of station it is (Shell, BP, etc...) and contact their gas marketing division (or whatever that company calls it) and see if they have a certificate of insurance for that station. Many franchise agreements require this.

Regardless, you should talk to an attorney soon about this.

Good luck!
