D. holding that because the plaintiff had not perfected service within 120 days of filing the complaint the complaint was subject to mandatory dismissal
E. holding that when a plaintiff mistakenly sues a decedent and not the decedents estate and seeks to recover only against insurance proceeds if the decedents insurer had notice of the action and knowledge of the plaintiffs mistake within the period specified by rule 15c an amended complaint will relate back to the date of the original complaint absent any prejudice to the insurer and the estate and assuming the other requirements of rule 15c are met
