How Long Does It Take To Get A Settlement Check?
Hi. I'm, John Medler, personal injury lawyer with the Medler Law Firm. Today I'd like to talk to you about how long it takes to get a settlement check. Let's say your lawyers just settled your case. How long before you have that money in the bank? Here's the answer. Most of the time the defendant will draw up what's called a release. That's the thing that the plaintiff has to sign ending the case. Normally the defense lawyers will take a little while to prepare that. Usually between a week and 10 days. Once that release has given to your personal injury lawyer, your lawyer will want you to sign that lickety-split. Usually our clients sign at the same day. We get the signed release then we send it back to the defendant. What happens next is they order the check. And ordering the check usually takes somewhere between 10 and 30 days after they get the release. So the whole process generally takes around 3 to 4 weeks.
Now what happens if the defendant is taking too long? If the defendant seems to be dragging its feet and getting you your settlement check, ask your attorney to file what's called a 'motion to enforce.' A motion to enforce is when the attorney goes to the court and has the court enter an order directing the defendant to pay right away. Most of the time however, that won't be needed.....

Do you get the check and pay everything back? Or do you get the check with the attorney fees and medical bills deducted?

@@Facecel_ In Totality it took mine like 6months but after the offer comes it’s a pretty quick process. But I had to do a video court hearing with the job defense attorney so I guess it depends.

Can the law firm tell you that your case won and what they settled on but take 12 to 18 months to make sure there no liens before sending a check

Can an attorney hold your check in escrow and incur interest for the law firm?
