What happens to a survivor's awarded damages if he or she dies prior to the rendition of the final judgment?

 

A: The personal representative of the decedent is required to pay recovered damages awarded to the personal representative of the deceased survivor.  However, if a survivor dies before the final judgment is rendered the recovery of that survivor is limited to lost support and services up until the date of his or her death.
