Sec. 15.5  Administrative claim, who may file.

the owner of the property interest which is the subject of the claim or

    (b) A claim for personal injury may be presented by the injured 

person or that person's duly authorized agent or legal representative.

    (c) A claim based on death may be presented by the executor or 

administrator of the decedent's estate or by any other person legally 

entitled to assert such a claim under applicable State law.

respective interest appear, or jointly. Whenever an insurer presents a 

claim asserting the rights of a subrogee, it shall present with its 

claim appropriate evidence that it has the rights of a subrogee.

    (e) A claim presented by an agent or legal representative shall be 

presented in the name of the claimant, be signed by the agent or legal 

representative, show the title or legal capacity of the person signing, 

and be accompanied by evidence of authority to present a claim on behalf 

of the claimant as agent, executor, administrator, parent, guardian, or 

other representative.
