NC Personal Injury - Litigation (Mediation)

NC Personal Injury Case Overview

NC Personal Injury Litigation (Mediation) - NC Personal Injury Cases can be filed in District or Superior Court. For District court cases, mediation is voluntary. If your case is filed in Superior court, mediation is mandatory. The mediation is called a “mediated settlement conference.” Hopefully, you and the defendant can agree on a mediator (a neutral attorney). If you cannot, the court will assign one to your case. If your case settles or does not settle at mediation, the mediator files a report with the court. If you settle, you are done…if not you have to proceed to trial.
