It is difficult to determine the average settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit, because a meau number doesn't address the factors for determining the amount of settlement. These factors are figuring out the life expectancy of the deceased and taking into account how much money he or she would be expected to earn during that time. Therefore, each settlement is unique.
