We settle out of court for my daughter's estate (Indiana) We were only awarded her funeral costs and layers fees($ 17000). We let them make payments to us in what they wanted it to offer. It has gone through the courts. Now we get a legal bill after everything for the lawyer trying to collect the money and put a process to collect on them for $ 860 and maybe more. since this is a seperate issue, can we take them to small claims to colect that. Would we have a chance to win?
I think we let them off easy and let them decide their payments and now we have topay to collect it?
It was a wrongful death for serving her underage at a bar which had no insurance and the bartender had no liscense to sell.
She had a .19 in 4 hours and should have never left the bar, even if she was of age.(all of this has been proven.)

She was one month shy of 21. Yes we knew it was illegal but this bar was known for seving underage dr

Answer by kissy face
Ask your lawyer. That may be included in the "legal fees" that you were already awarded.

Answer by Ty H
Sue the bar and bartender. If you have documented proof of them selling to underage people you they will settle out of court because they haven't got a chance.
