Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).

FAQs
Several factors can influence how long the process takes such as court approval of the settlement, completion of required paperwork and documentation, negotiations over deductions such as liens or taxes, and the payment process used by the defendant or insurance company.
Personal injury and workers’ compensation settlements often take a few weeks to a few months, while complex class-action or commercial cases may take several months to over a year.
Signing the agreement starts the payment process, but it often takes weeks for the check to be processed, approved, and issued.
Your attorney can request expedited processing if all documentation is complete and there are no disputes or liens.
Stay in contact with your attorney because they can check the payment status with the court or insurance company.
Many states require insurance companies to issue payment within 4-6 weeks after the settlement is finalized, but timelines vary by jurisdiction and policy.
In most cases, the settlement check is sent to your attorney first. They deposit it into a trust account, deduct fees and costs, then issue your portion.
Disputes over settlement terms, payment amounts, or deductions can slow the release of funds until they are resolved.
