Can Personal Injury Claims Be Filed for Deceased Victims?

Generally, no. Personal injury claims can only be made for victims who suffered injuries and damages from a car accident, yet survived it. If the victim died because of the incident, then you can file either a survival action or wrongful death claim. Choosing which claim to pursue depends on whether or not a personal injury claim process has already been started, among other reasons. To know more about how to file either claim and which is most suitable for your car accident situation, call us today at (800) 310-1606 for a free consultation.
