No Fee Unless You Win
You’ve been in an accident and want to be compensated fairly for your losses, but the insurance companies are playing hardball. One option is to explore mediation instead of diving into a lengthy, overwhelming court battle.
In this scenario, a neutral mediator helps guide the conversation and negotiations between the parties involved to find a resolution. It’s a more relaxed, comfortable environment than court. Both sides can share their perspectives and find a solution that works for everyone. While mediation may not be legally binding on its own, the parties could reach an agreement based on mediation with terms that become legally binding.
Scottsdale personal injury lawyers like Gage Mathers Law Group can provide expert guidance throughout the mediation. As your strongest advocates, we can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get a fair settlement.
When determining compensation, it’s crucial to understand how damages are calculated in personal injury cases. Compensation amounts consider multiple factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
There are many benefits to using mediation to resolve personal injury cases. It’s a popular, preferable alternative to pursuing litigation. For one, it is cost-effective and saves both parties considerable legal fees and court costs.
Mediation also often leads to a much faster resolution. What could take years in the court system may be resolved within weeks or months with mediation. This less stressful option is more informal, comfortable, and collaborative than a courtroom.
With mediation, both parties control the outcome rather than being bound by a decision made by a judge or jury. This tends to generate more creative, mutually agreed-upon outcomes tailored to the interests of all parties.
Sometimes, both parties come to a settlement agreement, but one party suddenly decides they don’t want to settle despite previous promises. What happens then? Can the mediation agreement still be enforced?
In Arizona, some negotiated agreements (such as those involving personal injury claims) can be legally binding. If this happens in your case, the experts at Gage Mathers know how to handle someone trying to renege on a signed mediation agreement.
