Hello, I hope I am posting in the right place. I’m at a loss as far as what to do.
I became part of a lawsuit in 2013. It isn’t a class action lawsuit, but it is a group of us who were injured by the same product.
At that time, there was only one law firm willing to represent us, but during the intervening years, the cases were consolidated and transferred to other firms twice.
We are not allowed to discuss specifics of the case, not even with other people who were hurt.
The manufacturer agreed to settle with us in August of 2020.
In January 2021, I signed paperwork agreeing to the settlement, including the amount I would receive.
I’ve never received it. I’ve checked in with the attorney’s office via email monthly since January of 2021. They cannot say when we will receive our money and the reasons they are giving do not make sense to me.
The last two months, they have not responded to my emails at all.
I am concerned they collected our money and kept it.
How do I find out if this has occurred? Is this a reasonable amount of time to wait for payment after the settlement was agreed upon? What do I need to do?
Thank you in advance for any help you’re able to give.
If there is more information I need to provide, I am happy to do so.
