Yeah, but how much is the family getting and how much are the attorneys getting? I would not be surprised if the family is lucky to even get half a million Oh I am sure the lawyer only gets about 40%, then the family has to pay taxes of 50%. They might see 15-20% if they are lucky of the amount they are rewarded.

Do you know how much the lawyers would have gotten if they lost the case?

I think you are kidding yourself if you think the lawyer only gets 40 percent

I'm not a lawyer, but I thought it wasn't.

The family will pay little to no taxes because most of the award will be for pain and suffering and that isn’t taxed.

I don’t believe amounts received for wrongful death are considered taxable income.
