The Importance of Selecting the Right Mediator or Arbitrator

Christopher Earley | | Mediation and Arbitration

You would be surprised at how difficult it is for attorneys to agree on a mutually acceptable mediator or arbitrator to hear a personal injury case.  Usually, after the lawyers have agreed to submit the Massachusetts injury case to a neutral, they will each have a list of their preferred mediators and arbitrators. The key is for the lawyers to find common middle ground on a neutral they are both comfortable with. The problem is that often certain mediators and arbitrators have reputations as being plaintiff-friendly, or, conversely, defense-friendly.

Choosing the right neutral is tough, but it can make all the difference in your case.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
