PERSONAL INJURY - WRONGFUL DEATH

Personal Injury/Wrongful Death

Personal Injury/Wrongful Death Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that aims to resolve legal disputes arising from personal injury or wrongful death cases.

It involves a structured negotiation process facilitated by a neutral third party, known as a mediator. In personal injury cases, individuals who have suffered harm or injury seek compensation from the party or parties they believe are responsible. 

Wrongful death cases arise when a person's death is caused by the negligence or intentional actions of another party, and their surviving family members seek damages. During mediation, the mediator helps the parties communicate, understand each other's perspectives, and explore potential solutions. 

The mediator does not make decisions but assists in reaching a mutually acceptable settlement. The process is confidential and allows for open discussion and exploration of options. Mediation can be a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to going to court, as it allows the parties to have more control over the outcome and potentially avoid the lengthy and adversarial nature of litigation. 

The goal is to reach a settlement that provides fair compensation to the injured party or their surviving family members, while avoiding the need for a trial.
