Car accidents can cause tragic losses, including death.  When the driver who caused an accident dies as a result, the car accident victim may still pursue an accident claim against them through their insurance company or even their estate.  

In these unfortunate cases, the deceased driver’s insurance company is still responsible for any injuries and damages suffered by the victims. If the at-fault driver did not have insurance or did not have enough insurance to cover the injuries and damages caused by their negligence, the victims may have a claim against their estate.
