Reckless Imprudence Resulting to Homicide

My nephew died in a vehicular accident last April at about 4AM. His motorcycle collided with a passenger jeepney. While the case is pending, the driver implied that he wants to make out of court settlement (we assume that he will be working overseas). Please advise us on how my sister should go about it. How much money the driver should pay (moral, actual, loss of earning capacity, indemnity, exemplary damages), in case she agrees.

Thank you very much.

how much depends entirely on what they can agree on, and what they are capable of. are they under mediation? is arraignment over?

Thank you attorney, for your reply.

The accused is already informed of his case and both parties are now waiting for the first hearing. He wouldn't tell how much he is capable of settling. This is why we want to have some idea on the amount.

My nephew was 28 y/o and working as IT Assistant in Ortigas. He was the eldest among the 4 children. He's helping his mother pay for the house amortization and for his sister's (youngest) school expenses in college. He had a plan to pursue his studies (to a 4-year course) right after his sister finishes school.

Thank you so much for your time.

how much are you asking for? do you think the driver has the capability to pay for it?

HI po Atty: I would like to seek assistance about the case of my mother Reckless Imprudence Resulting to Homicide. Naka aksidente po kasi sya ng 4 year old kid at namatay po ito after a week or two.
Natapunan po kasi ng ma init na mantika ung kid sa likod, ung mother ko po kasi ay nag titinda ng fried chicken sa harap ng tindahan nyang sari sari store extra income po, ngaun po habang nag hahanda sya ng sauce di nya na pansin na lumapit po pla ung bata sa kalan at ung mother nung bata ay bumibili sa sari sari store ng makita nya ung anak nya na malapit sa kalan bigla nya po humigaw at bigla hatak sa anak nya na di alam ng ina na nakahawak po pla sa hose ng tangke ang bata. so na pa upo po ung bata at tumaob nmn po ung kaldero na me ma init na mantika so na shock po ang lahat pati ung mother ko sa edad nyang 53 anyos di na kuhang kumilos sa sobrang shock po. ni ma ihatid sa hospital di nya nagawa ung mother po ang nag hatid. way back 2008 po ito. so sa makatuwid kinasuhan po sya at nito lng pong April 2015 na hatulan napo sya sa nasabing kaso. sakto po sa kaarawan nya na serve ung warrant of arrest. nilabanan po namin ung case nya since 2008 dito ng ka ubos ubos ang ipon namin na ibenta na ung ibang aririan namin. kasi lahat ng hospital bill pina babayaran sa kanya at nito habang tumatak bo ung kaso na panalo ng atty ng mother ko na ma ibaba ung hinihingi ksi ung hospital bill wla pong O.R. pero sa bandang huli nito nga po talo parin sya kasi binitawan na namin ung atty namin kasi wala na kami pambayad. di rin po na file ung probation nya kasi na abutan na ng due date dpo namin alam dpo na asikaso nung atty habang tumatakbo ung case. sa ngaun po nagtatago ung mother ko. pinipilit ko pong sumuko nalang sya. kaso sinu ba namang anak ang gustong makulong ang ina na alam nmn natin na di nmn nya sinasadya ang mga nangyari. na ang tanging hangad lang nmn kumita ng extra pra sa pamilya.. ang kinasasama po kasi ng loob nya pinalalabas na sinadya nya ung pangyayari di talaga namin matangap.
