I was injured on an amusment ride as a chld. I suffered an injury to my face ( eyebrow ) which required stitches.

My sister and I gave depositions in the lawyers office. I had a photographer come and take pictures of the injury on my face. I was taken to a plastic surgeon to see the damage. I was around 7 years old. I remember going to the doors of the court room and then we went no further. I have been told by my parents that they felt it would be too traumatic for us to go to court. It seem ridiculous to me as I already felt bad about my injury after the plastic surgeon & photographer both attesting to the permanent scar I would have. How can I go about finding out what really happened as I suspect that there was a settlement. We moved to a bigger house after this was all done. I do not have the lawyer's name. This was in 1967 if my parents settled out of court could they just keep the money back then? It's my understanding that today the money would be put in trust for the child.
