FAQ: When do I get my money from a settlement?

Q: I settled a case with the insurance. When do I get my money?

A: It depends. (Good lawyer-like answer, isn't it?) If you settled with an insurance company, it can be anywhere from immediately to 14 days. If there was a lawsuit, it can take up to 30 days, depending on the language in the release, getting paperwork done, etc.... If you have an attorney, ask him or her. Usually these things are agreed upon by the attorneys if you have an attorney.
