Is It Possible to File A Lawsuit Against A Dead Driver?

It isn’t uncommon for drivers to die in a car crash. Sometimes, the driver who dies is the one responsible for the crash in the first place. Nevertheless, if you were the other driver involved, and sustained both non-economic and economic damages from the incident, you have the right to file a claim against the driver. In this situation, the lawsuit should be directed to the beneficiary of the driver’s estates. The success rate can vary, however, and if you want to know yours, you can discuss your case with us beforehand. To receive a free consultation from us, please call us at (866) 698-2306.
