In 1983, the DeLong family filed a [[civil suit]] after Carl DeLong committed [[suicide]] after becoming depressed following the loss of his leg and subsequent [[chronic pain]] from the bombing. A jury ordered Kimberlin to pay the DeLong family [[United States dollar|US$]]1.25 million for Carl Delong's suicide and another US$360,000 to Sandra DeLong for her injuries. In 1993, an appeals court overturned the US$1.25 million for Carl Delong's suicide, but upheld the damages awarded to Mrs. Delong.<ref name="Delong">{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Npk_AAAAIBAJ&sjid=91UMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4411,542308&dq=delong+civil+suit+kimberlin&hl=en | title=Convicted Speedway Bomber Wins Civil Suit Appeal | work=Times Union | date=May 3, 1993 | access-date=May 27, 2012 | page = 10A}}</ref> In 1994 the [[Indiana Supreme Court]] overturned the appeals court ruling, restoring the original US$1.6 million judgment.<ref>[http://174.123.24.242/leagle/xmlResult.aspx?xmldoc=1994758637NE2d121_1758.xml&docbase=CSLWAR2-1986-2006 No. 49S02-9406-CV-524.
