FAQ
Med-Arb is a hybrid, two-stage Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process to resolve commercial disputes and has been recognized as a preferred mode for resolving wide range of commercial disputes.
In a mediation process, a neutral, trained mediator works to help disputants come to a consensus on their own. In arbitration, a neutral, trained arbitrator serves as a judge who is responsible for resolving the dispute.
MOTIONS/ORDERS TO SHOW CAUSE The Notice of Motion, affirmations, affidavits and exhibits must be filed as SEPARATE documents. A proposed Order To Show Cause is filed in the same manner as a Notice of Motion using document type ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (PROPOSED) in place of the Notice of Motion.
Disadvantages of med-arb There is a risk that an arbitrator's impartiality may be affected by overseeing a facilitative mediation. It may be difficult for an arbitrator not to be influenced by supposedly "without prejudice" disclosures or proposals made by the parties during the course of settlement negotiations.
Many surgeons use an arbitration clause. This does not mean you give up any rights but rather than going to court your case would go to an arbitration panel. It's actually better for you because you wouldn't have to go to court and face a jury if there is a dispute.
Types of ADR include arbitration, mediation, negotiated rulemaking, neutral factfinding, and minitrials.
On the other hand, ADR privatizes the dispute. ADR often shortens the time frame for coming to a final decision and is generally less expensive than litigation. Another advantage of ADR is the ability of the parties to select the person who will serve as mediator or arbitrator.
Instead of a judge or a jury deciding the outcome, a private arbitrator (or panel of three arbitrators) determines: whether the patient has proven that the health care professional committed medical malpractice, and if so, how much compensation ("medical malpractice damages") the patient should receive.
A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.
