What happens to my spinal cord injury case if the at-fault driver dies?

If the at-fault driver or tortfeasor dies, your claim survives against their estate. More practically, the claim can typically be pursued against the liability insurer of the deceased, because most liability policies cover claims against the estate. In vehicle accident cases, the vehicle owner’s insurance policy is also implicated, regardless of whether the owner was the driver. Our attorneys ensure that all potentially liable parties — and all potentially applicable insurance policies — are identified and pursued.
