Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-004805

A law that allows a cause of action for personal injury or other wrongs to continue after the death of the injured party or the wrongdoer. Without such a statute, many legal claims would terminate upon the death of a party. These statutes typically permit the deceased's estate to pursue the claim.
