Personal Injury Mediation
Virtual personal injury mediation for liability, damages, and settlement disputes.
Flannel People Mediation helps claimants, businesses, insurers, and counsel structure serious settlement conversations when an injury claim needs more than another demand-and-response cycle.
Personal injury disputes we help mediate
The mediator does not decide liability, damages, causation, legal rights, or settlement value. The role is to help the parties and their counsel clarify risk, exchange information, and test practical settlement options.
Liability disputes
When parties disagree about responsibility, mediation creates a private setting to discuss risk, evidence, and possible resolution.
Damages and claim value
When valuation is the core gap, mediation helps parties compare assumptions and explore settlement ranges without requiring a decision from the mediator.
Medical causation issues
When causation, treatment, or damages are disputed, mediation can help parties organize the key settlement questions.
Insurance and policy-limit issues
When insurance is central to settlement, mediation can bring the needed decision-makers into one structured conversation.
Release and settlement terms
When money is only part of the deal, mediation can help parties identify practical terms that counsel can document and review.
Pre-suit and litigated claims
Personal injury mediation can happen before litigation or after a case has been filed, depending on the parties' readiness to negotiate.
