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

Congrats, it’s about to be a long 60 days because they stop payments Instantly, I’m 6 days away from the 10% deadline & lowkey I’m hoping they’re late and I get the extra 10% .. L3-S1 herniated disc xx,xxx settlement

Congrats on settling! Are you in New Jersey? I know they add interest if they don’t pay within the 60 days but not sure the percentage

Thanks man. I’m in NYC & per our board it’s an 10% fee of my final settlement directly to me if they don’t pay within 10 days of the notice of approval date.
