If an out of court settlement was reached, here would be no lawsuit and therefore no court records. Even if a suit was filed, all the final documents may say is that the case has been settled and it is therefore dismissed. A final settlement doesn't have to indicate the terms or sums paid. A case that goes to jury verdict will specify the jury award. You need to check records in the county where the accident happened. Most of them have an index. You would be lookling under civil cases (as opposed to criminal, juvenile, etc.). Check what court records have been filmed by the LDS for the jurisdiction where he died.
