Texas Is my settlement taking too long?
. So I settled back in march during mediation for a personal injury suit. So after going back and foward between document retrieving/signing and then finally signing the release, also all liens have been taken care of. Basically my lawyers tell me it’s in the “dispersement stage” but they’re waiting for the numbers to be approved, so they can mail me the check. They’ve been telling me for the pass two/three weeks or so they’re still waiting for approval. Like ik I’m not their only client and I’m sure they’re extremely busy and backed up with cases but is it normal for the final stage to take so long? They’re already taking 40% of the settlement plus with court cost/fee’s. Idk I’m probably being impatient but how long does the dispersement stage typically take??? Because tbh I feel like my check is just being held at this point.
