In general, the process of negotiating the agreement usually takes a few weeks to a few months. If all goes well, you and the other party will agree to hold a fair. The process from lawsuit to final settlement can take just a few weeks in some cases. In others, it may take a year or longer. Once an agreement is reached, the time of receiving payment may vary depending on several factors.
First, it's important to understand that resolving a case does not automatically guarantee immediate payment. The process may include additional steps before disbursing the funds. For example, the settlement agreement may require the defendant or their insurance company to submit payment within a specified time frame. However, some defendants may delay or even refuse payment, leading to more complications.
The deadline for receiving a settlement check after your personal injury case is resolved is usually 3 to 6 weeks after you sign your settlement resolution form. However, the exact duration may be influenced by factors and circumstances specific to the case. Factors such as the complexity of the case, negotiation processes and administrative procedures can influence the timing of the verification of the agreement.
