More than likely, you were a minor at the time of the accident, so the money was put into a blocked account until you were to reach legal adulthood. If you are now an adult and the money is still being withheld, you should speak with an attorney in your area about how to go about getting the funds released.

We would need a lot more information. Mr. Cohen assumes that you are a minor and it was placed in a blocked account. I assume that your attorney took the money and refused to pay you your portion. Another possible interpretation is that the defendant refuses to pay and abide by the settlement. Please repost with more specific factual detail.
