text: My boyfriend lost his mom in a car accident and won 1.2 Million dollars in a wrongfull death suit. When he turned 18 last year he got what was left after taxes and things and he was able to use that money for anything he wanted. For example a 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV and about 5 more cars and Jet skiis etc. That money is all yours. But contact your lawyer because he should be communicating more with you if you are asking questions on the web when you're paying him.
