In today's episode, the focus is on an alternative dispute resolution option, specifically mediation. Mediation, as an alternative dispute resolution method, gained prominence in the late '80s and '90s as a way to settle personal injury claims without going through a full-blown jury trial. Eric discusses how mediations work in both the work comp setting and the third-party setting, such as car accidents, slips and falls and dog bites.
Eric details the mediation process, from submitting case information to the mediator to the actual settlement discussions. Also shedding light on the work comp mediation process, where mediations are required before proceeding to a final hearing. Throughout the episode, Eric provides insights into the advantages of mediation, the importance of controlling the settlement discussion, and the role of mediators in narrowing down issues for resolution.
