conciliation

Under conciliation, various types of accident claims can be

resolved, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents,
slip and fall accidents, and other personal injury cases.
Conciliation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party,
called a conciliator, helps facilitate communication and
negotiation between the parties involved in the accident claim.
The conciliator assists in finding a mutually acceptable resolution
without making a binding decision
Arbitration

Arbitration is available for various accident claims,

including motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents,
medical malpractice cases, and personal injury claims. It's
a process where both parties present their arguments and
evidence to an impartial arbitrator. The arbitrator then
makes a binding decision to resolve the dispute. This
decision is usually enforceable in court. Arbitration can be
a faster and less formal alternative to traditional litigation.
It's important to consult with a legal professional to
understand if arbitration is suitable for your specific
accident claim and to navigate the arbitration process
effectively.
Mediation

In mediation, various types of accident claims can be

resolved, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace
accidents, medical malpractice cases, and other personal
injury claims. Mediation is a voluntary process where the
parties involved in the accident claim work with a neutral
third party, called a mediator, to reach a mutually
acceptable resolution.
