Quick Summary

When a public official dies in a motor accident during official duty, initiating an accident claim involves identifying the legal heirs. The primary claimant is typically the legal spouse and their children. However, if another individual, C, claims to have a child with the deceased, that child may also be considered a legal heir if proven. The discussion clarifies who among the spouse, their children, and the potential child of C is legally permitted to initiate the claim.
