general survival acts
Numerous statutes in the various states providing for survivorship of many causes of action that did not survive at common law, some of them providing in sweeping terms that all causes of action survive the death of either the person in whom the cause is vested or the person liable thereon, while others provide for general survival of personal tort actions, except for those matters that are secondary to the principal cause of action and are purely personal to the person injured. 1 Am J2d Abat & R § 52.
