How long does it take to resolve a hospital lien after settlement?

I was involved in a car ac cident in sept of 2011. I settled my case in July 2012. My settlement was 16,000.00 in which i only recieved 2000.00 of that 5335.00 were lawer fees the rest of which were doctor fees because i hadg no insurance. there is 2600.00 left in a trust for this lien and my bill was reduced to 1771.00 which has been paid i just feel that this is unjust and very sad for people in my postion who suffer and experience pain in which i have indured do to someone else.
