More details to this question:
My car needed some repairs to the body. The engine was working fine. They admitted that they were driving it when the engine seized up. Now I need a new engine and the body shop doesn't think that they are responsible.

Unless you can show the body shop destroyed the engine thet are not liable. There is nothing a body shop would usually do that affects the engine so unless it was a newer car with properly maintained engine this may just be coincidence.
