RE: - "they watched their daughter die in front of them and the first thought to come to their mind was how much they was going to make." Think for a minute, if you were in their position what would you want? If someone I loved died I would want justice, or revenge. I would want to see them punished. I would want to see them go to jail for a long time, I might even want to see them go to the chair. I would be badgering the police and the DPP (or DA) for prosecution. If the police failed to act I would probably start a private criminal case against them. But it would be a criminal case, not a civil one. I would want them punished, sent to jail, I would not be after making a bit out of the death. The moment you sue for money you are saying "I care for money more than I care for my daughter". Personally I have every sympathy for someone who looses a loved one, right up until they start profiteering from it. At that point they become as bad as the person who did the killing.
