How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “For us to rule against [the plaintiff] in these circumstances would be to allow the insurer [or bond provider] a windfall due to the fortuity that there was but one potentially negligent party for [the plaintiff] to sue.”
• If “some other person in addition to [the deceased defendant] had been named as a defendant, there would be no question that a late amendment to substitute [the deceased defendant’s] estate would have related back to the date of the initial filing”
