ADR Systems’ Personal Injury Settlement Program allows insurance providers to mediate 10 to 15 cases in a single day at a reduced rate for all parties. Our seasoned mediators settle substantially all of our mediated cases, and they can facilitate mediations for this program both in person and via remote videoconferencing options. For cases that qualify, the Personal Injury Settlement Program offers a path toward settlement that is efficient, inexpensive and avoids litigation.
Does Your Case Qualify?
Type and Extent of Injury
Personal Injury Settlement Program cases typically include standard, straight-forward injuries. Cases with multiple issues are rarely suited for the program. Their values are frequently higher, liability may be contested and additional parties are often involved in them, requiring a session longer than the allotted two-hour period.
Liability is Often Clear, But Value is Not
Personal Injury Settlement Program mediations do not typically focus on liability. Instead, they focus on the extent of damages owed. As these cases infrequently involve pre-existing conditions or coverage issues, our mediators can focus on helping parties arrive at a settlement agreement quickly.
Previous Negotiation Has Transpired
Cases with a history of negotiation reveal a clear and present interest in arriving at a settlement. This is the most important quality that a case suited for the program should have: it is a case that should settle.
What are the Benefits?
High Settlement Rate
Nearly all cases mediated through this program settle during their two-hour mediation session – even when conducted remotely. ADR Systems neutrals have a long history of success in using the settlement program format to settle cases.
Brief Session Time
While typical mediations require a four-hour or eight-hour session, cases in the Personal Injury Settlement Program are mediated in two hours or less. This short time period accelerates the mediation process, reducing its costs and encouraging all parties to come to the table well-prepared to negotiate.
Reduced Rate
With most cases in the program, only damages or causation are contested. Liability, negligence and the impact of preexisting conditions on a case’s value are rarely at issue. These more clear-cut cases enjoy a reduced rate, often achieving a settlement at a lower cost to the parties.
Mediator Selection Opportunities
Our neutrals are former trial attorneys and jurists with extensive experience working on personal injury cases. This program gives insurance providers and plaintiffs’ counsel the opportunity to work with several neutrals at a lower rate, providing insight into different mediators and their styles.
Closure for Both Parties
A settled case brings closure to the parties. Under this program, parties can settle even more conveniently than with a traditional mediation, helping everyone move forward faster.
