[WSBAPT] Wrongful death apportionment

[Roger Hawkes]

John: I have done much personal injury work, including several wrongful death matters, and I am very comfortable with arithmetic and damages.  I would be pleased to give it a try.........and hopefully avoid full on litigation about who gets what.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Wrongful death apportionment

I am looking for someone to represent the adult children of a decedent.  Decedent died as the result of an accident.  The estate sued the driver and rec'd a large recovery.  Probate counsel is proposing a 90/10 split between surviving spouse/stepmother and the adult children. Does anyone have experience in determining and negotiating the apportionment?  Any recommendations?  Thanks.
