P1252 REVIEW DENIED The injury from which a wrongful death action arises is not the same as the injury from which the decedent's personal injury action arose, so a wrongful death cause of action that was added by amendment to a personal injury action after the personal injury plaintiff died did not relate back to the filing of the original complaint for purposes of computing the five year period during which trial must begin.CitationBRUMLEY v FDCC (Wrongful Death Amendment) 156 CA4 312 [See: CCP 583.310, 583.360; Norgart v Upjohn 21 C4 383, T/AT 9/99]
