You do not sue an insurance company. You sue the estate of the decedent. Their insurance company
should come in to defend and pay.

You can maintain a tort claim against an estate. AS for insurance, I don't know whether you are refering to liability insurance or life insurance. In any case, the defendant is the estate not the insurance company.
