Q: How do I find my dead fathers lawsuit from the accident that led to his death
I would like to probate the lawsuit since he left no will and testament
A:
An Alabama attorney could answer best, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. If the case was placed into suit, you could look into whether it appears in any of the online resources of uniform court systems. Nationwide, more and more court systems have uploaded case tracking information on their sites. If it was not placed into suit, it could be a little more difficult. If you have a clue who the attorney was, or if there are not too many BI attorneys in your area, you could make a few phone calls. If you happen to know his insurance carrier, they might be able to help you. If you remember where the accident took place, you might try the precinct that would have responded - if they placed their police reports in digital form, that might lead to identifying the parties and insurance carriers. If these don't work, you could contact an attorney or investigator to help you further. Good luck
