How long does it take after a deposition before defendant is compensated for pain and suffering that he has endured while going through the process?

I assume you mean to ask when will the plaintiff be compensated. Defendant's do not get compensation unless there is a counterclaim. Cases end in two ways, by an agreed upon settlement amount or trial. If the Plaintiff and the Defendant agree on a settlement amount, it takes from 2 days to about a month to receive your settlement from the defendant (if the defendant has insurance. If there is no insurance coverage, you will get a judgment but his does not necessarily mean you will collect any money). You can settle the case at any time, or it may be that the case cannot be settled. If there are health insurance, medical, Medicaid or Medicare liens other, it can take as much a s an additional six months to settle these liens before the funds can be disbursed. If the case is not settled, it usually takes from one year and a half to three years from the date the case is filed to go to trial.

Usually, defendants are not compensated because they are the ones who get sued for hurting Plaintiffs. The system takes as long as it takes. You just have to wait.

Well, you normally are not entitled to any compensation for attending a deposition. And if you are the defendant, you are being sued for damages. Unless you filed a counterclaim, you haven't asked for damages. So no, you won't get any money for attending the deposition.

It will take as long as it takes to get the case settled or tried. Ask your lawyer for specifics. That's what you got him or her for. Good luck.

It varies tremendously from county to county, and it depends on many things not included in your query. If the case has not been noticed for trial, then it could take many months or even years. In addition, the defendant is not compensated for pain and suffering; it is the plaintiff who brings the action and who can claim compensation for the pain and suffering.

There is no set time. Ask your attorney what the settlement status is. You are a plaintiff and not defendant if you are suing.

Wait a minute: you used the phrase "defendant is compensated for pain and suffering" either this is a typo or a bad joke. If it's a typo, please correct and repost. Otherwise, go away.

Going through what process? You don't get damages for pain and suffering by going through a "process" you get damages for real injury caused by a bad guy.
