When will I receive payment for my construction accident case?

In Washington, when you receive payment for a construction accident case depends on the circumstances of the accident and settlement. If your case is settled through negotiations with the other party and their insurance company, you may receive a payment within weeks of the settlement. If you have to go through a trial, it can take significantly longer to receive payment. The court must approve any settlements made during trial, and this could take months or even longer depending on the complexity of the case. In addition, the payment amount and how it will be divided will be determined by the length of your medical treatment, the severity of your injuries, the amount of wages you lost, and the amount of your medical bills. All of these will be taken into consideration when determining the total sum you will receive. If you settle without going to trial, the other party will usually make the payment shortly after the settlement agreement is signed. If you win at trial, the court will order the other party to pay you and you will receive payment according to the court’s order. In any case, it is important to have an experienced lawyer to help you determine the amount of payment you should receive and to negotiate with the other party to make sure you receive the payment when you are supposed to.
