Mediation
The Law Office of Scott & Nichols
Stockton California Mediation Attorneys
Mediation can be a cost-effective means for resolving personal injury disputes when your client is genuinely interested in avoiding complicated, lengthy litigation. At the law office of Scott & Nichols, we identify common ground to ensure parties develop terms acceptable for everyone involved. Ken Nichols, trained as a mediator at Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, adheres to conflict resolution strategies designed to bring parties together in light of interests had by both. Mediation is offered in all our practice areas. In personal injury mediation, insurers and injury victims are motivated by financial incentives which define a common boundary for each dispute. By fixing a minimum / maximum level of gain versus loss, terms acceptable to both parties emerge.

Understanding Both Sides of a Dispute
It’s important to understand both sides of a dispute to ensure everyone’s interests are protected and taken into consideration. Prior to training as mediator, Mr. Nichols represented both insurance companies and plaintiffs in personal injury matters and general litigation cases. We offer an in-depth understanding of insurance law, regulations, and the practical necessities of running a business alongside of the painful realities of how an injury impacts a person’s life. We remind each side of the cost of litigation and identify financial terms that benefit both parties.
Putting Your Client in Charge
Mediation puts your client’s fate in their own hands. The terms they develop and agree to are a function of their own efforts and decisions. As such, mediation avoids having 12 strangers on a jury impose terms which may not be in your client’s interest. In this sense, mediation empowers participants since they are responsible for any settlement terms agreed to.
