Personal Injury
Personal injury refers to injury which is caused unintentionally by another’s failure to use reasonable care, and it is a complex and controversial area of law that falls under tort law. A tort is a civil wrong recognized by law as grounds to sue the wrongdoer for damages. Personal injury cases can involve everyone from individuals to insurance companies to large corporations, where the majority of personal injury claims settle outside of court to avoid the costly and high-stakes litigation process.
Our neutrals are proficiently trained to negotiate personal injury settlements through effective dispute resolution processes such as mediation and arbitration. These processes allow multiple parties at the table to move past predetermined position-based figures to interest-based negotiations that ‘humanize’ the process and allow for better resolution of the claims. Often, the defense lawyers and adjusters become more willing to compensate a human who has suffered, or is suffering, than they are a stack of medical records.
