Well, there are too few facts here to be sure, but assuming you settled your case for a specific amount to be paid by a date certain, which is very common, then probably the check will be cut by the date and sent to your attorney.? It may have to be issued by an insurance company, and they can take weeks or months to issue the check, but should still meet the agreed-upon deadline. Your attorney most likely will put it into a trust account, and after maybe two weeks it will clear? the bank, at which time the attorney can cut checks to pay whatever should be paid attorney fees, expert fees, jury fees, court reporter fees, medical liens, whatever it may be and then give you a check for your share, hopefully along with an accounting. You can pitch this question to your lawyer and get a more specific response.? If it's been longer than you expect already, then call your lawyer and get an update.? Maybe there's a good reason for the delay. Obviously, this answer is just a general observation, not specific advice tailored to your situation.? No attorney-client relationship is intended or created. Good luck to you.
