my father in law was murdered at a house where he worked as a care taker for a man that has dementia. I want to know can the home owners insurance be sued
Your question does not include enough facts to give you specific advice. However, the survivors of a murder victim would normally have a wrongful death claim against the perpetrator. In some circumstances, they may have a claim against other individuals or entities as well. For example, if an employer maintains an unsafe work environment, it may be responsible if an employee is killed or injured. Or, if a landlord fails to provide proper security lighting or locking mechanisms, it may be liable for the injury or death of a tenant. Often, liablity insurance will not cover intentional acts of wrongdoing, so whether insurance would be available depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident.
Any time a person is injured or killed due to the negligence or intentional act of another, the first step is to consult with a qualified and experienced attorney. Most good attorneys offer a free consultation to discuss the claim. I recommend that you arrange for a consultation right away.
