What is the name of your state? West Virginia. My questions pertain to asbestos class action lawsuits. My father was exposed to asbestos. He filed a claim. He had apparently settled
with some litigants and was receiving settlement payments from these individuals, prior to his death, thru his attorney. He died and a wrongful death lawsuit was filed. My questions are: Is the settlement my father was receiving, prior to his death, a different action of court and ceases once he dies. And is the Wrongful death action a totally different case in itself. Is one a Personal Injury action and one a Wrongful Death action? Thank You.
