More than one body in hearse? Lawsuits follow (8)
I believe the answer is:
carcases
'more than one body' is the definition.
(carcase is a kind of body)
'hearse? lawsuits follow' is the wordplay.
'hearse?' becomes 'car' (hearse is a kind of car).
'lawsuits' becomes 'cases' ('case' can be a synonym of 'lawsuit').
'follow' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'car'+'cases'='CARCASES'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for carcases that I've seen before include "Dead bodies of animals" , "Bodies of dead beasts" .)
