You may be contemplating a personal injury or litigation matter in Massachusetts which was unresolved before a decedent's death. A deceased's claim or case may proceed despite the claimant's death.

For instance, a case may arise where a person had lost their hearing in a dangerous blasting accident occurring before their death. In this example the injuries from the blast only caused the hearing loss and did not cause death (something else and unrelated caused death). Nonetheless, the hearing loss claim may still proceed.

Claims or cases pursued postmortem may require special attention to the unique challenges involved in advancing a case without the deceased's direct involvement or testimony. An attorney familiar with both probate and litigation can advise you on these challenges and opportunities for resolution or trial.

Your legal needs may include estates, executors, administrators, and family members of decedents. Additionally you may need an attorney to work along with a probate estate and the estate's attorney when the probate attorney does not prosecute or litigate claims or if a conflict of interest arises.
