Personal Injury Mediation Attorney Serving Berkshire

If you have been injured in an accident, you may be looking for a way to resolve your claim without going to court. Mediation is a process that can help you do just that. Here’s what you need to know about personal injury mediation in Massachusetts.

What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps two or more parties come to a resolution. In the context of personal injury claims, mediation can be used to resolve disputes between the injured person and the insurance company. It can also be used to resolve disputes between multiple insurance companies.

How Does It Work?

During mediation, the mediator will meet with both sides separately and try to help them come to an agreement. The mediator will not make a decision for the parties but will help them come to an agreement that they are both happy with. If an agreement is reached, the mediator will draft a settlement agreement that both parties must sign.

Is Mediation Required?

In Massachusetts, mediation is not required in personal injury cases. However, it can be helpful in resolving disputes. If you choose to go to trial, the court may order mediation at some point during the case.

Can I Represent Myself in Mediation?

Yes, you can represent yourself in mediation. However, it is often helpful to have an attorney represent you. An attorney can help you negotiate with the insurance company and make sure your interests are represented.
