Motor accident claim initiation

A is decased in motor accident on official duty. To initiate accident claim, they say the legal heirs can do it. Now, a situation arises where B is legal spouse with children of A. And there is C who claims to have a child with A.

Who are legally permitted to initiate the accident claim:

1) B and children
2) C
3) child of C

Thank you for your help.

"Official duty" - Was the deceased a Public official?

Yes, public official.

B and her children are the legal heirs (and also, mother of the deceased, if alive) . Child of C is also a legal heir, if proved so.
