What happens to a wrongful death claim if the wrongdoer is also deceased?

An example for the purposes of this question is, for instance, if the wrongful death occurred in a fatal car accident that took the lives of both drivers.

If the negligent party has also died, a wrongful death claim can be brought against the wrongdoer’s estate, or against the wrongdoer’s employer, if applicable.
