\"Dispute-Resolution-300x155\"Some people think that all personal injury cases have to go to trial. However, the truth is that only a small percentage of these lawsuits will ever be heard in court. Most personal injury claims are dealt with in other ways, such as settlements and alternative dispute resolutions. Arbitration, often viewed as a last resort before a case goes to trial, is a type of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Both parties mutually agree to have a neutral decision-maker, called an arbitrator, provide a resolution. Like a judge, an arbitrator objectively listens to both sides of a case before reaching their decision.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Happens At An Arbitration?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arbitration usually takes place inside a conference room at the Superior Court, where the plaintiff\u2019s lawsuit was filed. While attending an arbitration is much less formal than going to court, the procedure is structured like a mini-trial. Lawyers for the plaintiff and defendant submit case packets to the arbitrator, which usually include police reports, photographs, hospital records, and statements from expert witnesses. During the private hearing, both parties present evidence to demonstrate what occurred to cause the accident and resulting injuries. Each side attempts to clarify its version of events through opening statements, witness testimonies, cross-examinations, and closing arguments. After carefully examining and reviewing all of the facts, the arbitrator will determine liability, if the plaintiff is entitled to receive compensation, and the total number of damages awarded. The arbitrator\u2019s final written decision is typically issued within a few business days. The decision can be binding or non-binding, depending on what the plaintiff and defendant agreed upon beforehand. When binding, the decision is considered final and entered as a judgment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
