But you can try to prevent something similar from occuring. There's value in that.

  As a lawyer, I’ve seen litigation I’ve filed result in behavior changes in even larger companies. All that’s required for evil to flourish . . .

    Well OP has done something already by starting the legal process, so that's already better than many when it comes to fighting evil. And I don't think he should need to feel he has any more duty than anyone else. EDIT: My assumption is that they engaged a lawyer but if not that's obviously my advice #1.

  It's doubtful whether that is possible and the family seems (understandably) grief stricken by this. The child is not coming back. Its now the duty of the OP to take care of his partner with needed counselling, may be moving to another place etc. The pain won't go away regardless of the outcome of a lawsuit. OP, I'm sorry for your loss. Things like this takes everything from us. The only thing we can do is move on and contemplate. In my personal belief, that it is only possible through spirituality. The grief is expected and completely normal. Its a result of your love for your son. The ache will be there throughout your life. I would suggest (if your finances allow), to use the settlement money to do something good for other children on an annual basis (however small it is).

  Very true. There's also a cost to it, and there is value in other things including OP's happiness. And he can help make the world a better place in many other ways if he feels compelled to do that.
