Why You Should Attend this Course

With the Courts increasingly putting pressure on parties to use ADR to mediate, and insurance companies building up mediation schemes, personal injury mediation is on the increase.

As personal injury claims have normally just a monetary dimension, how do you mediate disputes of this kind where the focus is on money and where there are specific needs which vary between the parties? This course will provide you with the answers.

Main points covered:

Understanding of the dynamics of mediation - When? Why? How?
The differing approaches of Claimants and insurance companies to mediation
Specific needs of Defendant lawyers and their insurance clients - why are Defendant lawyers much less autonomous than their claimant counterparts in a PI claim?
Specific needs of Claimants - why do PI Claimants struggle to have the same valuations of their claims as their lawyers?
Using medical evidence effectively within mediation - How and when to use an expert
Is mediation really without prejudice?
Is there now a legal obligation to mediate?
Dealing with costs issues such as CFAs
Developing an effective plan for ensuring the best outcome for your client in a mediation
How to bridge the gap and walk away in a monetary dispute
Selecting a mediator - PI expertise vs general expertise
Telephone mediation schemes - in what circumstances should you use telephone mediation as supposed to mediation?
Specific options pertaining to PI - NHS Schemes
When you should use round-table discussions compared to mediation
