What Can A Surviving Victim Do Against A Deceased At-Fault Driver?

If you were involved in a car accident, where you, as the victim survives, while the driver died, you should know that you can still pursue a personal injury claim against the insurance provider of the at-fault driver. You also have another option – filing a claim to the person who will inherit the deceased’s estates. We advise you to try going through the insurance provider first, however, before taking the aforementioned action.
