Personal injury arbitration and mediation cases occupy a unique corner of the legal universe. These cases bring with them their own set of challenges and their own uniquely personal, emotional and financial impact on both parties. Oftentimes, maybe most times, going all the way to trial is in not in the best interest of either litigant. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, which are in many cases mandatory, are often the best way for all parties to find a resolution that they can live with, so they can get on with the business of living their lives. Personal injury lawyers know this and many of their clients learn it in the process. Whether it’s a mediation or arbitration, the neutral party must have experience in the unique elements of the personal injury field. Having spent nearly half of her career on the defense side and half of her career on the plaintiff side, Sarah Nelson brings the kind of experience to a mediation or arbitration that is required to achieve a fair, balanced and measured resolution to a case.
