Ok, your Massachusetts personal injury attorney and the insurance adjuster cannot agree on the value of your case. When this happens, mediation can be very advantageous. Why? Because mediation usually promotes resolution with less expense and with much less risk than can a bench or jury trial. This is because a good mediator will inform you and your personal injury attorney of the strengths and weaknesses of your case. At the same time, a good mediator will do the same with the insurance adjuster and/or defense attorney. Mediation thus can be an "enlightening" experience where the mediator can convince both parties that compromise can bring victory to both parties.
