Personal injury settlement checks can be issued for various types of cases, including car accidents, wrongful death claims, slip and falls, product liability or defect claims, premises liability claims, medical malpractice, TBI (traumatic brain injury) or spinal cord injuries, and more .

What is a medical lien in a personal injury settlement?
Medical liens refer to a third party’s legal right to appropriate a portion or the entirety of the settlement or proceeds from your personal injury case. Said third party may file a request for a lien during the lawsuit, and a judge will ultimately decide whether to approve or deny the request. If a judge were to approve a lien, the person or entity who owns that lien would be paid from your total settlement amount before you receive any financial compensation. Again, this is just another example of why having an experienced and dedicated DLG lawyer fighting on your behalf can give you the advantage necessary to prevail, and help ensure another party does not wrongly take a portion of your settlement. Once a lien is approved by a judge, there is virtually nothing you or your attorney can do to reverse the decision, and the debt must be legally paid in full.
What is a legal settlement?
In civil lawsuits, a settlement is an alternative to pursuing trial litigation. Generally, a settlement occurs when the defendant agrees to some or all of the plaintiff’s claims rather than proceeding to fight the matter in a court of law. In almost all cases, a settlement requires the defendant to pay the plaintiff monetary compensation – whether for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, psychological trauma, etc. Agreeing to a settlement is commonly referred to as settling out of court, and said settlement effectively ends the matter of litigation. Agreeing to a settlement is an advantageous option for both parties in many cases. By settling out of court, defendants can avoid exorbitant costs of litigation, which can drag on for an extended period of time depending on the nature of the case. A settlement may be reached before a trial, or during its early stages. In some cases, settlements are reached before a lawsuit is ever filed.

What is pain and suffering?
Pain and suffering is an abstract term that refers to physical or emotional distress that a plaintiff may suffer following an accident. Pain and suffering can come in many forms, and quantifying that sort of hardship can be difficult, and often left up to interpretation (and therefore vary greatly on a case-by-case basis). While physical pain is typically straightforward (broken bones, TBI, fractures, spinal cord injuries, etc.), suffering is much more subjective, as it frequently involves post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief, fear, trouble sleeping, depression, and even loss of enjoyment in life.#N#Given the difficulty in quantifying pain and suffering, insurance companies have come up with two main systems for calculating damages that are commonly used. Those systems include the multiplier method and the per diem method.
How long does it take to get a settlement check?
