If you received a judgment from the bench on a personal injury matter, you can receive the written order at any time. If you don't receive the order in a month, you should contact the judge's chambers to inquire about the timeline.

As far as your money is concerned, a judgment on a personal injury action does not guarantee payment. You have to start collection activities on your own, which can include garnishments, liens, and levies.
