FAQ
In some instances, you may be able to sue if you signed a valid arbitration agreement. While courts generally favor arbitration agreements, they will allow you to file a lawsuit if either you didn't understand your rights or your claims fall outside the arbitration provision's scope.
A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.
Filing for Arbitration Arbitration requests must be filed with the American Arbitration Association (even if a denial of claim form states that it should be filed with the New York State Department of Financial Services. Requests submitted to the Department will be returned).
File online using the New York Insurance ADR Center online version of the Arbitration Request form (AAA Form AR1). Upload documents stored on your desktop. In addition, the successful submission of a case in ADR Center immediately generates a case number that will assist the filer with tracking the status of the case.
Under CCP § 583.310, an action must be brought to trial within five years after it is commenced against the defendant. An action “commences” on the date the original complaint is filed with the court against the defendant. If other defendants are later added, those actions will have a different date of commencement.
After drafting the Motion to Compel Arbitration, you'll need to file it with the court clerk. You can do this in person or let an attorney do it for you if you have one. Filing requirements vary from one court to another; you need to consult with the court clerk about local rules for filing that apply to your case.
Parties are encouraged to file their Requests electronically using ICC Case Connect. Via the Request form, claimant(s) will be invited to supply key information in relation to their Request, and to upload their Request and any relevant annexes.
