The statute of limitations has not expired for a personal injury lawsuit against another party. I would like to file a lawsuit on his behalf. How do I represent him. Do I go to probate court to become the executor of his estate?

Week.We were asked to sign a permission form that clearly stated it was voluntary.
However the employer told employees that if we refused the testing we would be taken off the schedule. This does not allow us to make decisions about our own bodies.Thank You
