Yes, you can sue a deceased estate for negligence if the deceased's actions directly caused an accident that resulted in damages. The estate can be held liable for the deceased's wrongful conduct, and any claims would typically be filed against the estate in probate court. However, the specifics can vary by jurisdiction, and it's essential to adhere to any statutory deadlines for filing such claims. Consulting with a legal expert in estate or personal injury law is advisable to navigate the process.
