If you have lost a loved one in a fatal car accident, a suit against the defendant will have two different types of claims. The first is a wrongful death action. Essentially, you are bringing a claim as a member of the victim's family for the loss that you have suffered because the person who was killed is no longer in your life. The second is a survival action that is brought by the personal representative of the victim (i.e. the person in charge - usually a family member - of handling the victim's estate.). This claim allows for compensation to the victim's estate for the pain and suffering and other damages incurred by the victim that were suffered up to the moment of death.
