yes, you will probably want to get a lawyer to have everything done correctly, you may also have to pay court costs first from the first court case.

When are civil suits paid?

When the Defendant has the money! Joking, of course. This question leaves out a lot of information. Is there a settlement, a judgment, an appeal? Generally, if there is a settlement, the agreement itself dictates when payment is to be made. If there is a judgment, the Plaintiff has many tools to effectuate payment, if the Defendant is not forthcoming with the payment. If the Defendant appeals the judgment, then the Plaintiff will generally have to wait until after the appeal is heard - but this is usually ok since the Defendant will usually have to file a bond in the amount of the judgment to file the appeal (which secures Plaintiffs' damages, should the appeal fail).
