Neutral Availability

What is Premises Liability Mediation?

Premises liability mediation is defined as a structured negotiation in which a neutral third-party mediator facilitates discussions between property owners, insurance representatives, visitors or occupants, and legal counsel to reach a mutually agreeable resolution, which is called a settlement agreement. Unlike litigation, mediation fosters open communication and collaboration, helping parties find solutions that address legal, financial and emotional concerns. Parties control the outcome of the process, and their settlement agreement is enforceable in court, acting as a contract.
