FAQ: What if a person dies before bringing a personal injury lawsuit?

It depends on whether a person dies as a result of the injuries or from unrelated causes. If a person injured in an accident subsequently dies because of those injuries, that person's heirs may recover money through a lawsuit. Every state has a law permitting an action when someone causes the wrongful death of another. If a person with a personal injury claim dies from unrelated causes, the claim survives in most cases and may be brought by the executor or personal representative of the deceased person's estate. more...

FAQ: Can someone recover for the pain and suffering of a decedent?

Yes, in addition to the wrongful death, a decedent's family may recover damages for the pain and suffering that the decedent endured prior to death.

It can be the result of product liability, slip and fall accidents, car accidents, construction accidents, or any event where a person or corporation does not exercise reasonable care and that negligence causes the death of another. California law holds those responsible for the wrongful death of another accountable for their actions by allowing surviving family members to seek compensation for any damages the death of their loved one may have caused.
