Can You File A Claim Against A Deceased At-Fault Driver?

Yes, you can. If you sustain injuries or damages from an automobile accident where the at-fault driver died from the incident, you can still pursue a claim against their insurance provider or even the beneficiary of their estates. Although this process can take a while, refrain from choosing to use your own auto or medical insurance to cover your expenses since this will result in a lower payout from the parties that you are pursuing claims against.
