How soon will I receive my money after the settlement?

This depends on a few different factors. Texas has prompt payment statutes that require the offending party’s insurance to pay you within five business days after the insurer receives the demand for payment. The check is sent to your attorney, who deposits it in your client trust account. Depending on the check amount, this can take several days to clear. Once it has cleared, your attorney will contact you to arrange a time for you to pick up your settlement check.
