What Is Mediation

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that has become increasingly popular in the context of personal injury cases. Unlike traditional litigation, where a judge or jury makes a binding decision, mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps the parties involved in a personal injury case to negotiate a settlement. The mediation process typically involves a series of private and joint sessions, where the mediator facilitates discussions, helps identify the key issues, and encourages the parties to find a mutually acceptable solution.
