Well, maybe:
500k, minus 50% for the lawyers is 250k.
Minus (likely) ~15% for her agent is $212,500
Minus 33% taxes (you pay taxes on settlements, right?) is $140,250.
She likely had to pay for medical out of her pocket, so take that away-
And she likely was unable to work while bruised/injured, so that’s lost wages…
It seems totally possible that she’ll actually end up with something less than 100k for her trouble.
But I could be totally wrong, as IANAL etc etc.
