If someone crashes their car into some property and dies, who is left to pay for the damage? The insurers must go after the vandal’s assets I assume, but how do they go about it?

depending on the types of damages such as personal, property, or both, the deceased’s estate bears the responsibility. The insurance company for the dead person pays up to the policy limits and no more. The estate is then responsible for anything above that, regardless of asset values. Disposal of assets becomes part of the probate process and debts are either fully or partially paid. For more, call an attorney. He/she can tell more in detail about the laws from then on.
