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.
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.
My husband is currently on workmans comp and has been since July 2006. It took about 6 weeks before we received the first check from workmans comp. However it was back dated to the date of the injury, and paid in one lump sum. From that point we receive checks weekly.

Generally as long as the attending physician deems them unable to work.
For as long as your Doctor certifies you unfit for work. Depending on injury you may be required to take on another job at your place of employment that you are capable of performing.
Until the Dr. states in eriting you can go back to work or you are able to do light work
Until the Dr. states in writing you can go back to work or you are able to do light work
It is impossible to give a timeframe. ALl claims are investigated and ruled on seperately, and some take longer than others.
In the state of Illinios once you accept an settlement offer how long does it take before you should receive a check?
500 weeks
will i recieve a settlement after having back surgery workers comp
You're not likely to get a reliable answer to this question, as workers' comp settlement information is confidential in most states.
Receiving a one-time settlement from worker's comp usually does not affect Social Security payments. However, if you receive ongoing workers' comp benefits, it may offset your Social Security disability benefits. It's recommended to consult with a financial advisor or Social Security representative for personalized advice.
Unless your state is different, you normally receive workers comp only if you are unable to work.
They won't take your settlement away but you should pay some of what you owe on your back taxes. This won't happen automatically.
