Multiple people can be beneficiaries of a wrongful death claim. A case can take several months to a year to complete. In some situations, one of the survivors in a wrongful death case passes away before the claim can be resolved. However, the person’s estate can still receive a part of the lawsuit’s settlement. The compensation for the deceased survivor would become limited. The estate would collect money for lost support and services up to the date of their death. Usually, the deceased survivor will have a personal representative to receive the money from the victim’s executor.
