QUESTION
How can I continue my Mom's civil suit after she passed away?
Asked on Sep 17th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Louisiana
More details to this question:
My mom had a civil suit for a slip and fall at the apartment complex where we stayed. She had to have neck surgery. I have the paper from 2012 where the lawyers offered her $30,000 which she declined because $14,775 of it went to Medicaid. She had no atty. She represented herself. Unfortunately she recently passed away. I’m the only living child. I have all medical records, documents, pictures, witness’s names and the Dr.'s she attended. Well 5 hrs. After she returns from the ER. After her fall, she receives the news that her baby girl was found dead at home. How can I continue this quickly? Can I settle with the lawyers out of court? What should I do?

It sounds as if you need to open a succession on behalf of your mother and have her heirs (yourself and any other siblings) substituted as plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
