Depends what type of claim it is. I am an attorney who usually represents insurance companies, and it usually takes a couple of weeks. Sometimes a lot more if it's a complicated claim, less if it's an easy one like motor vehicle accident.

When your lawyer and the insurance company agree to a settlement of your injury claim the turnaround is usually just a day.
The insurance company sends the check and release to the attorney by mail. The attorney then calls you to come sign the release and the attorney writes you a check for the settlement minus his fees and less any medical or other liens on the settlement.
So I would wait no longer than three days from the date the attorney told you the cliam was settled. This allows a couple of days for the post office to deliver the settlement documents to the attorneys office.
