Your question spans a number of different law disciplines. I will try to respond only to the personal injury/wrongful death implications of this situation.

If someone is responsible for causing your son's death in the car accident, your son's newborn child and perhaps his girlfriend, may have a wrongful death claim against the adverse party who caused the collision. You should contact a personal injury attorney in the state where this collision occurred and discuss the possible implications for a wrongful death claim for your grandchild. It is also possible, depending upon the state, that you may have a potential claim against the adverse party You have given insufficient facts to give you a more definitive answer, however, a personal injury attorney in the state where the accident occurred should be able to provide you with more information, once he or she is provided with more facts surrounding the entire circumstance.

Do Not Delay in seeking counsel, as the statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is usually shorter than the usual tort statute of limitations.
