I'm not sure another person could answer that question in good conscience; unless the answer were "no."
AnswerGenerally, the two are completely separate legal issues. If the father's paternity was established legally and an award was made to the child's parents he may be entitled to receive a settlement. You should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain the law and the options.

How is the money distributed in a wrongful death suit?
This may vary from state to state because such distributions are governed by statutes of the individual states. A general rule is that wrongful death proceeds are distributed to the spouse and dependents of the decedent not to the decedent's heirs or beneficiaries under a will. The reason for this is that proceeds of a wrongful death action represent the support that the spouse and dependents would have received from the decedent had he not been killed. It is entirely possible under the terms of some wrongful death statutes that emancipated children could receive less than dependent children simply because the emancipated children would not have received any support therefore they did not lose anything. It is vital that the statutes of the state involved be understood, since the process depends strictly on the terms of the statutes and they vary.
