How long does it take to receive workers comp settlement check?

Answer 1

That last answer was inaccurate. In South Carolina, we settled on the 1st of September and it is now the 23rd and still nothing. Once the lawyer receives the check, it will sit in trust for 10 days and then WE will get our cut. Honestly, I say someone is trying to get some interest payments off of our money before we get it. Sad, we are the ones suffering. Not the insurance company or the lawyer.

within ten days of the decision.

Answer 2

Workers compensation benefits are governed by the law of the state in which payments are due. As such, the duration of payments vary. Additionally, most states require the injured person to regularly attend medical care/therapy, report to the workers compensation caseworker and, when medically released for work, mount a good faith job search.
