Can the car dealer not be held responsible for hail damage after a purchase if they won't deliver the car?

My mom purchased a truck from Dodge. They told her it wouldnt' be ready for her to pick up for a week. During that time there was a bad storm and the truck was hail damaged. They will not take responsibility for the damage and are telling her to go to her insurance. Is this legal for them to do? Since it was on their lot and they wouldnt' deliver it aren't they responsible for the damage? What are her possibilities for recourse? Thanks for any intelligent and insightful answers.

    It was her truck when the hail damage occurred, her insurance should cover it. If her insurance company finds the dealer was negligent or otherwise liable, they'll pursue reimbursement from the dealer.
