Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Yours is a strange question for legal reasons.

First. if the settlement occurred before a lawsuit was filed, your family (or its attorney) and Coca-Cola/7 Up would have s record.

If it was settled after the lawsuit was filed, the court would have a record.

You don't tell us where this happened, how old you are now, or other details as to why you are now inquiring. All of this would be important information for an attorney, and I recommend that you you consult with one immediately, You can call my office or contact another attorney of your choice.

Best of luck.

By checking with the Superior court records in the city where it occurred, to see if a case was filed. By contacting that area's Coke distributor and seeking help in locating records. If you find there was a settlement or judgment, then you can seek to recover the money owed you. If serious about getting counsel in this, feel free to contact me.

If there was no lawsuit, such as a settlement after the accident happened, there would be no record of a lawsuit.
