What is mediation?
Mediation is the process by which the victim of a car accident and the negligent driver's insurance company attempt to come to an agreement regarding a settlement offer for the victim's injuries and losses related to the car accident. This process typically takes place prior to a trial and gives both sides an opportunity to make a sincere attempt to resolve the issue regarding the amount of compensation that a victim should receive. Victims are allowed to have legal representation throughout the mediation process.
