What is Personal Injury Mediation?

Mediation is a process in which the parties involved in a dispute agree to meet with an impartial and neutral person who assists them in the negotiation of their differences. The mediator does not decide what is fair or right, but rather works to help define the issues involved, provides guidance to help the parties communicate, and helps both parties reach agreement on a settlement that is satisfactory to everyone involved. It is more about making a deal than fighting tooth and nail. However, decisions reached through mediation are not legally binding, and can therefore be difficult to enforce.

What is Personal Injury Arbitration?

While Arbitration is similar to mediation in that it keeps the dispute out of court, it is different in several key aspects:

• the arbitrator decides the resolution of the dispute. In arbitration, both sides submit their respective positions to the arbitrator, who then decides on a solution;
• decisions made by arbitrators are legally binding. If the losing party fails to pay the award amount, the winner can refer the decision to a court, which will enforce the award judicially.
