If you were 18 when the case was settled, the money should have gone to you. If you were under 18 when it settled, it should have gone into a blocked account with the bank to be given to you when you were 18. It should not have been able to have been taken out without court order before you were 18. If your parents spent the money without your permission after you were 18, or took the money without court order before you were 18, you may have a claim against your parents and/or the bank that released the money. More facts are needed to give you proper advice.
