How Long Does It Take To Collect Your Money After You Won A Lawsuit Settlement?

Also what dose it imply when my lawyer say they want to settle, but they want me to attend to their deposition 1st.

In my case, it was up to my lawyer--he received the checks, and then had to forward them on to me. I suppose it depends on how swiftly the other celebration sends the check to your lawyer, though, in the first location. There was no delay in payments, in my instances--all were received in much less than a month. Mine were all against organizations, which may well make a distinction, rather than against men and women. Hope you get yours soon!   Poppet! 17 months ago

What you have said means your lawyer is telling you this:- He hopes the other side desires to settle. Fact: A deposition is a truth-obtaining procedure. The other side desires to depose you - this signifies their lawyer will ask you queries, and you should answer, and answer truthfully. Truth: The organization you are suing, and the insurance coverage business who offers insurance coverage to the organization, will not make a settlement supply till they have all the details.I suspect you are a extended way from a settlement........unless the organization you are suing tends to make an offer you for settlement that will be quite small - to save the costs of a deposition(or depositions if there are witnesses they want to query) plus legal charges. This variety of settlement is known as a 'nuisance settlement'.   charlie95 17 months ago

It normally takes an insurance company several weeks to cut the check and forward it to the defendant's counsel.   Snow_Leopard 17 months ago

Oh, now I see you've added more information. So the case isn't closed yet. They are saying they don't want to take you to court, are willing to pay you money to make you go away, but they want you to answer some questions(the deposition) outside of court. This is sometimes used as a stall tactic. I had to answer some really ridiculous questions for one of my law suits, which were basically done to mess with me, according to my attorney. He complained to their attorney, and they dropped the request. But don't count your chickens or spend your cash before you even receive it! And remember that you may have to pay Uncle Sam, too!   Poppet! 17 months ago
