ILLINOIS MEDIATION

Mediation is a method of settling lawsuits outside of court. Under Major Case Court-annexed Civil Mediation, a judge can order parties in civil cases to submit to mediation. As a neutral third party, the mediator acts as a link between the parties to resolve their dispute.

KANSAS MEDIATION

Throughout the course of negotiations, the mediator conducts confidential settlement talks focusing on the issues in dispute, identifying parties’ interests and needs, and generating settlement options. Ultimately, the parties decide which issues are important to them and whether they can resolve them in mediation. The parties are under no obligation to settle during mediation, and if no settlement is reached, the case is returned to court.

Personal injury and wrongful death cases can stem from a wide variety of sources ranging from product liability to aviation accidents. The personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at our  firm handle these and all types of cases with the best interests of our clients in mind.
