FAQ
Arbitration agreements require that persons who signed them resolve any disputes by binding arbitration, rather than in court before a judge and/or jury. What is binding arbitration? Binding arbitration involves the submission of a dispute to a neutral party who hears the case and makes a decision.
First, an attorney must obtain an affidavit from a doctor which confirms that the plaintiff's injury or illness is related to medical malpractice. Afterwards, the claimant must notify the person or entity they intend to sue that they are initiating litigation.
If you continue to work after you are informed that a forced arbitration agreement governs your employment, you may be bound by it, even if you refuse to sign it. If you quit – or if you are fired for refusing to sign the “agreement”- you may not have any grounds to sue.
