The bulk of the work in a personal injury lawsuit occurs at trial or in settlement negotiations. But even after you've reached a settlement, your legal matter isn't fully resolved until you have actually received payment from the insurance company or another responsible party. This may seem like a minor issue, but it can easily stretch out to weeks or months without pressure from your attorney.
At The Law Offices of Saggese & Associates, we understand that your settlement check can have a huge impact on your financial life, and we don't consider our work to be finished until that check is safely deposited in your bank account.
We Know That Every Minute Matters
The time it takes to collect a settlement payout depends on a number of factors, including the nature of your accident claim and the size of the insurance settlement check. When the settlement amount is relatively low, a check could be issued the very next day. In the case of larger settlements, however, every party involved in the process has incentive to delay payment as long as possible. Just as a bank can make use of the money that its customers deposit, insurance companies and even the negligent party's defense attorneys will be reluctant to immediately part with a large amount of money when it could be used to pay more urgent bills.
Our firm does not tolerate this kind of delay for our clients. We pressure the other side to complete payment as soon as possible, with daily phone calls if necessary. We specifically ask to be informed not just when the check is mailed, but when it is printed. In some cases we will have the check shipped overnight rather than wait for it to work its way through the postal system.
