    My father was killed unlawfully. Would the court have awarded me compensation?
    My father was killed when I was 5 by a reckless driver, who was prosecuted and found guilty. At the time he was killed, he had recently divorced my mother and re-married. I ended up in care and lost touch with my mother. Would the court have awarded myself and my 2 older brothers compensation? We have heard rumour that we were awarded something, but nobody has ever contacted us.
