Receiving Car Accident Compensation in Melbourne

Answer:

If you have a car accident case and you settle with the at-fault party’s insurance company or your own uninsured motorist company, by statute they have 20 days to get the settlement check to you, unless an alternate agreement was made at the time of the settlement. That being said, there may be other delays, depending on how quickly the medical bills can be ascertained or if any reductions on those liens or bills need to be taken into consideration. Otherwise, the check will arrive and be in your attorney’s possession within 20 days of a settlement.
