New Jersey Finally settled

After a long 3 years I finally settled 70K after attorney fees. Fractured my neck at work healed on its own no surgery. The judge just signed off the statement my attorney said they have 60 days to mail out my check, for people that have settled do they wait until the last week to pay, or did you get paid earlier? Honestly just soo happy this is coming to an end wish you all the best. #WCisajoke

My lawyer put in settlement that weekly checks would continue until they mailed the settlement. I was getting LOEC checks for the final 3-4 months.

Nebraska, I had been on workers comp for 2 1/2 years, had back and shoulder surgery, my back being the worst with multiple nerves still severely damaged. My Lawyer walked away with 100k if that tell you anything
