Understanding Settlement Compliance Period

Summary

The 10-day stipulation period is a time frame for the other party to comply with the settlement terms. After this, it typically takes 4-6 weeks to receive the settlement check. If the lawyer is unresponsive, its important to maintain communication for updates on the case. The client can reach out to the lawyers office or their paralegal for an update. If the lawyers contact information is unknown, the name of the law firm or the lawyer can help in finding their contact information. The client should also know the specifics of the settlement agreement, including the breakdown of the settlement amount and any deductions for legal fees or medical bills.
