Question:
What if a death occurs before bringing a personal injury lawsuit?
 

Answer:

In any case, if the person filing the Personal Injury lawsuit dies, the case may continue. Their Personal Injury attorney will assist in making the appropriate changes to complete the suit, as often it is the heirs or executor of the deceased's estate that receive the amount awarded through a wrongful death action.
