Sometimes there are delays in negotiating insurance liens on your settlement recovery. Sometimes, someone went on vacation, or the papers are just sitting there on someone's desk. Putting your inquiry in writing in the form of a certified letter probably wouldn't hurt.

Typically attorney's fees will come out of the gross settlement figure before other deductions, but you should refer to the written fee agreement you probably signed when the case began.
