How long does it take to receive settlement money after a 6years lawsuit against a hospital?

The duration of the lawsuit has no bearing on how long the defendant has to issue the settlement check. Since I don't practice in your State, I can't tell you the exact time frame in your case. Hopefully, there's someone here who is familiar with the applicable laws in Illinois who will help us out.

It depends totally on what was agreed to in the settlement agreement. The specific timing should have been addressed. There is no statutory time period in a settlement.

You need to ask your attorney about the timing. There is no time limit-but without knowing the details it is impossible to know whether the time you have waited (whatever that time has been) is reasonable or not. I hope this helps-
