Hi.........glad you can be here on the forum. Can you please explain what's going on with you? Why did you hire a lawyer? What papers did you sign?

Unless there is some prior agreement between the insurance company and the attorney, there is no set time frame. But 30 days is the longest it should take. But usually the insurance company can send out a check within a week of receiving the signed release. The check would go to your attorney and I'd think your attorney should be able to issue payment to you within a day or two.

I am glad this question was asked because I was wondering this myself. I am glad to see it is usually no longer than 30 days. Do most insurance companies wait as long as they can or do they want to get it over and done with once a release is signed? I hope to see this stage of my lawsuit come..its been over two months since my atty sent for an offer and we haven't even got the first offer yet.

An insurance company would not want to do anything to jeopardize a settlement so they should/would get the payment out as quickly as possible.

It is usually specified in the policy the duration of the release. If the insurance company is implementing a strict regulation on release, it may take sometime ,especially with some missing documents.

This is a 3rd party claim. The wording the policy does not apply. A 1st party claim would not require a release as the settlement is contractual.
Taking longer over "missing documents" does not make any sense either. an agreement has already be reached. Nothing else stands in the way of the settlement other then a check being issued.
But thanks for the spam at the end of the post.

I'm still waiting for the answer to SD's response.
For all we know:
i have just signed the release papers how long does it take to receive the check i had a lawyer
had something to do with signing a release so that one of their kidneys could be removed and sold to the highest bidder on Ebay.
If that is the case, you'd better have your lawyer check with Ebay's payment plans. Wouldn't that just suck if you'd have to get the money for one of your organs released from PayPal?
