Is the estate of the deceased entitled to general damages when the injured claimant dies from a medical condition not related to the auto accident or is the estate only entitled to the special damages.
1 ANSWER
Not sure I understand your question but if the deceased suffered an injury in an automobile accident that starts a chain reaction resulting in death, then the estate can recover damages. There has to be at least some relation between the injuries suffered in the auto accident and the medical condition which lead to the death in order to recover.
