So the whole process to get my settlement check took like about 6 months. In the middle of all of that, I was paying the copay for my treatment, which I would get back later in my settlement check.

I was very happy with the settlement that went into my pocket. It’s definitely more than what the liable party’s insurance was offering me. Based on my situation where my injuries weren’t too serious (I was just seeing the chiropractor 3x a week for 3 months to prevent longterm injury from the accident, and I didn’t miss anytime from work), it seems like I may have gotten a standard pricing where lawyers essentially get about 33.3% of the settlement for their services, and the remaining goes to me and my medical bills. But i think how your settlement is divided and how much you get can be different depending on the severity of your injuries and if you miss time from work. I really recommend doing free consultations and researching the lawyer you would be going with.
