PODCAST #269 Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer - How long does it take to get settlement documents for a work injury?

Got a question the other day about someone who has settled their case.  And they're wondering, "Well, how long does it take to get a copy of the release in the settlement document?" And the short answer is, that just depends.  Typically, if you're receiving income benefits, they find a way to get that tea pretty quickly because they wanna end those weekly checks. However, if you're not receiving income benefits, it can take a little bit longer as they're in no big rush. And once an agreement has been made,  it's really just your attorney's job to really stay on top of them and say, "Hey!" "What's the status?" 'Come on this has been a couple of weeks now." "What is going on here?" You can always request a hearing. However, that's a long way to go when it all it is is paperwork that you're waiting on. So, you wanna kindly reach out to the other party and just keep reaching out to them. At some point, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  If not, you can always like I said file a hearing and move forward that way if you have an attorney. If you don't have an attorney, you may wanna speak with one to see what can happen to facilitate anything and helping get this matter close. Hope that information has been helpful, and we'll see you on the next video. CALL US ►  912-208-2992TEXT US ► 912-233-1100EMAIL US ► [email protected] •  Website•  Facebook•  Pinterest
