the man probably has some minimal auto policy, too.

He was driving an 11 year old car, which suggests
he might not have a lot of assets to protect (ergo,
purchase of a lower limits policy). The carrier
will likely interplead the funds and let the
claimants work it out. (Been there, too)

If he has assets and there are co-owners of the car,
there could be additional liability for negligent
entrustment, if he's exhibited confusion while
driving in the past.

All in all, I wouldn't want to represent any of the
prospective claimants as there is not likely
to be much of a recovery possible.
I figure that someone will try to sue
GM as an alternative pocket, but that
person would not be me.

My arguments and legal theories have to pass
the straight face test.
