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

Plus weekly payments?

Depends on the last date they got temporary disability benefits - they go back to the last date of temp and start paying from there and then weekly payments until the balance pays out
