Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

I was wondering what a typical mesothelioma settlement amount was compared to a verdict at trial assuming you win your case. my father passed away from this and i was also wondering if your lawyer suggests you settle do you have to or can you make the decision to go to trial because i refuse to settle small because you cant put a value on my fathers life but if you have to im not going to settle for a small amount.
