Mediation
Mediation is one of the methods used in workers' compensation lawsuits. It allows parties to discuss and settle their cases without the need of court intervention. It is usually more effective than litigation, because it allows parties to resolve disputes quicker and at lower costs.
A mediator is a neutral third-party who is employed to assist parties in their negotiations. The mediator typically has experience handling similar workers' compensation disputes.

All facts are confidentially discussed during mediation. The conference is not recorded. Any information discussed during the mediation is not able to be used against parties in any future workers' compensation proceedings or in other court hearings.
Each party will present their argument in the beginning. For example, the injured worker's attorney will make a brief presentation about their client's injuries and the medical condition they are currently suffering from. The lawyer will discuss what treatments the worker has received as well as their rating for permanent impairment and the probability of returning to work.
Next, the employer's insurance company representative or their attorney will present a brief presentation on their position on the claim. They will talk about the amount they anticipate paying and whether it will be enough for the worker to return to work, and what type of benefits are required.
A key aspect in successful mediation is the fact that both parties agree to compromise on the issues they disagree with. If one party arrives at mediation with a demand they don't want to move away from, they'll remain in the same position as before and will not be able to find an acceptable solution that benefits both parties.
If the mediator is of the opinion that a settlement proposal is appropriate the mediator will present the offer to the other side. The offer is usually lower than the initial demand of the plaintiff.
