Mom died and dad who has lots of money won't help me in any way. How do I take my mom's share and how do you find out if there was insurance money or a settlement for her wrongful death?

If your dad was your mother's sole heir under the laws of intestacy (dying without a Will) or sole beneficiary under a Will or trust, or sole designee under a beneficiary designation, then you probably can's "take your mom's share." You might be able to challenge beneficiary designations if your mother didn't have capacity, but that would be exceedingly difficult, it being natural for a wife to leave her estate to her husband. The only way you could find out, absent your dad disclosing information, would be to file a lawsuit.

What is the average settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit?
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.
Who pays medical bills in wrongful death suit if estate has no money?
It would be relevant to know how this person died and who is being sued for wrongful death. Conceivably, if the wrongful death suit is won and a payment is made, then the plaintiff in the suit (presumably, a relative of the person who died) would be in a position to pay medical bills, although if the doctors are being sued for wrongful death it may not make sense to also pay their bills. If the suit fails and there is no settlement, and the estate has no money, then the medical bills do not get paid. Not every bill can be collected. Sometimes they have to be written off as noncollectable.
