Personal Injury
When it comes to personal injury at Portsmouth Mediation we bring parties together, we come up with an agreement that is fair and agreeable for all. Why Does mediation work for you?
- Mediation is faster and less expensive than litigation.
- Mediation allows you to have more control over the outcome of your case. If you can’t reach an agreement in mediation then you simply walk away – no settlement will be forced on you. You must fully consent to any settlement or agreement. You won’t lose any of your legal rights to recovery going forward.
- Mediations are confidential. Court cases are not. Many of our clients appreciate the privacy afforded by mediation.
- In mediation, the parties don’t have to decide who was at fault for the accident and they don’t have to testify. No blame needs to be assigned. Instead, the parties can just agree to the amount of damages that will be paid.
- Mediation gives your attorney and you an opportunity to hear from the other side. it can be very helpful to you and your lawyer if you have a clear idea of what your opponent views as the weaknesses in your case. Whether we agree or disagree with the other sides points, its good to know them in advance, and address them in advance. In a sense, mediation often gives us a chance to “see the sides playing cards.”
