These challenges, coupled with medical experts demanding to be paid for wasted days due to court scheduling, and juror uncertainty, lead many to ask whether there is a better way. There is!

Forward thinking malpractice insurance carriers are coming to see the wisdom of resolving cases through ADR. The first order of business for an insurance company is risk management, so, ADR makes sound business sense. For the Plaintiff’s counsel, this is also true, especially in a pandemic era.

Experts have noted what is called “COVID Compassion Fatigue”. That is, virtually every potential juror has suffered the loss of a friend, or family member. Compassion for injured Plaintiffs may be in short supply, simply due to the generalized burnout of the population. This is not the environment within which the thoughtful attorney will want to have his client’s fortunes determined. 

Mediations and especially Arbitrations ameliorate all these considerations. And, because the ADR company can initiate contact between the parties, no leverage is lost by having made the first overture.
