California: My dad and I are both represented by the same lawyer for our accident case. We were involved in a minor accident as passengers in an Uber. I’m wondering if we’ll receive individual checks or if we’ll get a single check that combines our amounts. I would prefer to have my compensation paid separately, so should I mention this to the lawyer in advance, or is it common practice for them to issue separate checks? Thank you!
California: Me & my dad are under the same lawyer handing our accident case, will we receive individual checks or will we be given 1 check with both our amounts?
In most cases, if you and your dad are represented by the same lawyer for the accident case, you will typically receive individual payments rather than one combined check. However, it’s always a good idea to communicate your preferences with your lawyer directly to ensure that they can accommodate your request. You can bring it up during your next conversation or meeting, and they will be able to clarify how the disbursement will work and if any specific steps are needed to ensure separate checks.
