How Long Until I Get My Car Accident Check in Minnesota?

January 25, 2026
After a car accident in Minnesota, one of the most pressing questions clients ask is: “When will I get my settlement check?” When you’re dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and everyday expenses after an accident, waiting for compensation can feel overwhelming.
