The majority of insurance companies want to terminate their cases efficiently. If you accept a settlement, you can expect a turnaround of about one or two weeks for your check after you and your lawyer accept your settlement offer.
However, the insurer may sometimes wait to send your check until they have your signed acceptance letter.
After you have your check, your lawyer will prepare a settlement statement showing your settlement amount, attorney fees, court costs, reimbursements to your insurer, and any other possible deductions.
