Wrongful Death vs. Non-Fatal Personal Injury to the Deceased

The Court of Appeals issued its opinion in Timmins v. Lindsey, No. M2009-00500-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Oct. 29, 2009). This case discusses the difference between a wrongful death claim and a claim for personal injury to the deceased, which does not cause death, and how the proceeds from each claim are to be distributed.

Here's a link to the case:
