Personal injuries or death; survival of actions
Sec. 4. The damages recoverable under this chapter shall be
commensurate with the injuries sustained, and in case death results
from such injury the action shall survive; provided, that where any
such injured person recovers a judgment under the provisions of this
chapter and an appeal is taken from such judgment, and pending such
appeal the injured person dies and said judgment be thereafter
reversed, or where such injured person dies after said judgment is
reversed and before trial, the right of action of such person shall
survive to his or her personal representative, and such action may be
continued in the name of such personal representative for the benefit
of the person entitled under this chapter to receive the same.
