You both put your case to an independent person called an arbitrator. The arbitrator listens to both sides, looks at the evidence you've sent in and decides what the outcome should be. In some cases, the arbitrator may choose to have several meetings with you both.
The arbitrator will review the facts of the case as presented by both sides and come to an appropriate decision on the result of the claim. Both the insurer and the insured have the option to represent themselves or to hire legal counsel to represent them throughout this process.

Consumers are more likely to win in arbitration than in court. This research from ndp | analytics demonstrates that in disputes initiated by a consumer, consumers fare much better in arbitration than they do in litigation.
Arbitration is similar to going to court, but faster, cheaper and less complex than litigation. If the case settles, an arbitration will last around one year. If the case goes to hearing, an arbitration typically takes 16 months.
FINRA requires investors and other parties to file their arbitration claims via the DR Portal—except for investors representing themselves, who have the option to file by mail. If you are new to the DR Portal, please create an account. Login to the DR Portal and select “File a New Arbitration Claim” in the left column.
There are several stages of arbitration that parties must go through. The first stage is the pre-arbitration stage, in which the parties agree to arbitration and select an arbitrator. The second stage is the pre-hearing stage, in which the parties prepare for the hearing.
Many arbitration clauses work in favor of a large employer or manufacturer when challenged by an employee or consumer who does not understand how arbitration works. Although generally the arbitrator is required to follow the law, the standards used are not clear.
