Arbitration has four types of functions: resolving contractual disputes between management and labor, addressing interests of different parties in bargaining situations such as public sector labor relations, settling litigated claims through court-annexed programs, and resolving community disputes.
1 Arbitration agreements for medical malpractice are written contracts between health care providers and patients in which both agree to arbitrate any dispute or claim arising from the medical care provided to the patient by the health care provider.
Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.
Compulsory Arbitration is a mandatory program for disputes valued under $50,000.
Healthcare arbitration agreements are written agreements between patients and healthcare providers that state that any dispute that arises will be handled through arbitration. The patients sign the agreement before a procedure or treatment.
Mandatory binding arbitration often requires the parties to waive specific rights. Specifically, the relevant contract provision removes or limits a party from suing if they feel wronged. They must go to arbitration instead. It also takes away their right to appeal any decision.
