Personal injury-whether incurred at work, in a car accident, through medical practice, or in a public place-devastates lives. Personal injury can rob an individual of their time, money, health, and independence. Unfortunately, the many burdens of personal injury victims are often borne solely by the victims themselves and their families.

Personal injury frequently results in lost wages and salary, time-consuming medical care, and overwhelming insurance and medical bills. Beyond this, personal injury inevitably causes physical pain and reliance on friends and loved ones for once routine and everyday tasks.

Traditional dispute resolution through litigation can have substantial limitations. The interests of the litigants may often be better served by resolving their problems in places other than the courtroom. Quite often the litigation process can wear down the parties and their pocketbooks, making it a "lose-lose" situation regardless of the outcome. In many cases, alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") is an effective alternative to the litigation process. Usually, ADR can be employed to resolve claims at a fraction of the cost of litigation, without the delays and the unnecessary aggravations of the civil litigation process. Additionally, ADR often provides the flexibility of doing so in a private, confidential setting.

As opposed to litigation, ADR offers the parties numerous options that can be tailored to the specific needs of the disputing parties. One important type of ADR is mediation, where the parties voluntarily agree to submit their dispute to a mutually acceptable neutral mediator. The mediator then provides a non-binding, consensual, and confidential means of facilitating communication, thereby enabling the parties to reach an agreeable settlement. Arbitration, another type of ADR, is where the parties agree to have their disputes resolved by someone other than a judge.

Patti & Sgro attorneys have substantial experience in all areas of Alternative Dispute Resolution and often employ ADR to achieve favorable resolutions for our clients, while at the same time reducing their litigation costs.
