Re: medical malpractice resulting in death
The question of division of the proceeds of a wrongful death lawsuit is controlled by the laws of inheritance.
Your statement about "custom" is an improper way to view an issue where there are laws which strictly control the distribution.
Your question should be directed to the attorney who prosecuted the wrongful death lawsuit. If you question the division of the proceeds, you should consider hiring independent counsel. You can look for an attorney through this list or your local Bar Association.
