Whether it is a simple or complex matter, when a client entrusts the resolution of a case to JAMS, it becomes as important to us as it is to you.  JAMS neutrals in the Personal Injury and Tort Practice have devoted much of their careers to helping clients mediate and arbitrate claims arising from personal injury and tort disputes, creating tailored solutions and guiding parties to a fair and efficient result.

Representative Cases

JAMS neutrals frequently hear cases involving:

  • Automobile Liability
  • Construction Site Accidents
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Municipal Tort Liability
  • Premises Liability
  • Product Liability
  • Toxic Torts

Why JAMS

JAMS neutrals adapt their approaches to the specific needs of the parties and the matter, with the goal of expediting the resolution of the dispute.  Both claimants and respondents repeatedly choose JAMS neutrals because of their ability to recognize which cases can be settled.  Neutrals remain committed to working with parties throughout the ADR process, including conducting follow-up reviews to increase the chance of settlement.

JAMS neutrals have earned a reputation with lawyers on both sides of the bar as trusted leaders in the resolution of personal injury and tort cases. Clients value JAMS neutrals not only for their neutrality and expertise, but for their ability to navigate conflict and lead parties to a resolution of their case.  Their experience with diverse cases and clients allows them to manage the interpersonal aspects of each case with skill and sensitivity.
