When Is Mediation Not a Good Idea?

Posted on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023 at 12:05 pm

Suffering an injury in an accident someone else caused can be overwhelming, leaving you to grapple with physical, emotional, and financial challenges. As you seek compensation for your losses, understanding the various dispute resolution methods available will help you feel more confident about your case.

If you have trouble with your initial claim, mediation may serve as a viable path toward resolving your case. However, mediation may not be the right choice in every situation. Knowing the advantages and drawbacks of mediation in personal injury cases can help you make an informed decision on whether it is the right option for your specific claim.

What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a popular alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method, aiming to resolve conflicts between parties without resorting to the traditional courtroom setting. In personal injury cases, mediation is managed by a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates communication between the injured party (plaintiff) and the person responsible for the injury (defendant). The mediator helps the parties identify issues, discuss possible solutions, and reach a mutually agreeable settlement.

What Are the Benefits of Mediation?

Mediation offers several advantages over litigation in personal injury cases:

Cost-effectiveness – Mediation typically costs less than going to trial.
Time-saving – Resolving disputes through mediation often takes less time than waiting for a trial date and going through a lengthy legal process.
Flexibility – Parties have more control over the outcome of their dispute, as they can customize the terms of their settlement agreement.
Privacy – Mediation proceedings are confidential, unlike courtroom trials, which are open to the public.
Reduced stress – Mediation encourages cooperation, communication, and creative solutions, which can help reduce the emotional strain of a contentious legal battle.

When Should I Avoid Mediation?

Despite its benefits, mediation is not always the right choice for every personal injury case. Pursuing mediation may not be an optimal path if any of the following factors pertain to your case:

Unequal power dynamics – A significant power imbalance between you and the other party may allow them to dominate the negotiation process, making it difficult for you to reach a fair settlement.
Unwillingness to cooperate – Mediation requires cooperation and open communication. Attempting mediation may be futile if the defendant is unwilling to engage in productive discussions.
Bad faith – If the defendant has a history of dishonest or fraudulent behavior, or if there are concerns that they may not act in good faith during mediation, you may wish to avoid this approach.
Severe or complicated injuries – Cases involving severe injuries or complicated legal issues may require a trial to obtain the appropriate compensation.
Inadequate insurance coverage – If the defendant’s insurance policy does not adequately cover your damages, mediation may not result in a fair settlement.

How Do I Know?

Deciding whether mediation is suitable for your personal injury case can be challenging. Here are some factors to consider when weighing your options:

Evaluate the strength of your case – If you have a strong case with clear liability and substantial evidence, you may be more likely to obtain a favorable outcome through litigation.
Assess the willingness of both parties to negotiate – Successful mediation requires both parties to engage in open and honest communication. If either party is unwilling to cooperate, mediation may not be the right choice.
Consider the potential financial and emotional costs – Weigh the potential savings in time, money, and emotional stress offered by mediation against the possible benefits of litigation.
Consult with an experienced personal injury attorney – A knowledgeable attorney can assess your case’s specific circumstances and help you determine whether mediation is right for you.

I was very blessed to receive legal assistance from Jonathan Brockman after a car crash I had a few years ago. I woke up in a hospital in Atlanta, a city where I had no friends, nor family. Jon is above all an exceptional human being. He was always willing to answer my phone calls and was always looking out for me. Jon is a very talented lawyer, too. At the end of the legal process, I received a wonderful compensation for everything I had gone through. Jon is a true expert and has a wonderful legal team that backs him up.

No doubt about it: I highly recommend Jonathan Brockman.

They did an excellent job helping me with my case. They let me know what was happening & took the time to explain how my case was going. Some rear ended my vehicle while while I was on the road. My wife had actually spoken with Jonathan Brockman about how her attorney Van Sant was taking long to help her. Van Sant & their staff did not communicate well & gave her a very small part of the settlement. So, when I had my accident I remembered how Mr. Brockman took the time to help my wife even though she wasn’t thier client. They set me up with good therapists & doctors. I also received a good portion of the settlement while my wife received a minuscule amount as compared to what Van Sant received. Even when everything was done he said I could call on him for legal questions. Sorry this took me a while to post & I hope you will choose Jonathan Brockman for your attorney as well.

- Michael Bernard

I have worked with John Brockman for many years and found him to be a most ethical and well organized attorney . He has demonstrated a keen acumen in the handling of personal injury cases of all types, and uses his knowledge of the law and legal expertise to manage every case that he handles. it is always a pleasure to work as co-counsel with John, because I know the final result will always be fair and equitable. Frank Hamilton, Esq.

- Jim Hamilton

I have known Jon Brockman for almost 29 years. In that time I have had the opportunity to refer clients and friends to him. I have chosen to refer to Jon because I know that he is a smart and dedicated attorney who is committed to protecting his clients in all aspects of their cases. I trust Jon to follow through in the pursuit of the clients’ best interests, and I have never heard that he has not performed in this manner. Were I to need representation for injuries, I would not hesitate to speak with Jon first. I am pleased to highly recommend Jon Brockman to the community. MD Birchmore, Georgia Attorney at Law

- MDB, SR.

We had a great experience with this law firm!! Jon was easily reached, always responsive, stressed the importance of keeping us informed throughout the process, and has employed a great paralegal (Kate). He listened to our concerns and offered legal counsel with our specifics in mind. Because of Jon’s willingness to listen, easy accessibility, and total transparency we felt we could trust his counsel, and believed he always had our best interest as his priority. This was invaluable! If you are considering anyone else, ask…”Do you trust them to have your best interest or their pocket as a priority?”

- Dinavia Williams

After sustaining an injury in a collision, a friend recommended that I ask Jon Brockman to handle my case. Although I was nervous when I visited his office for the first time, his staff’s warm greeting immediately put me at ease. Jon impressed me with his genuine care and concern over my situation. He listened carefully to my story and clearly explained what I could expect from the litigation process. As I left that day, I knew I was in good hands.

As my case proceeded, Jon and his staff were responsive to my questions and kept me up to date with each phase of the litigation. I was particularly pleased with how available Jon made himself whenever I needed to speak directly with him. By the end of the case, his zealous advocacy had secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend Jon for anyone needing representation in a situation like mine. He is a compassionate, hard-working and determined attorney. I would seek out his counsel again in a heartbeat.

- Angie Donohue

I had a free consultation with Kimberly Castleberry from the Brockman Firm. I was contacted the very next day after requesting the consultation , which was great. Castleberry answered all of my questions clearly and promptly. She even reviewed a document for me to ensure it was not errored, free of charge. I felt she went above and beyond to put my mind at ease regarding my insurance case. I would recommend this firm to my friends and family.

- Hannah Stanley

My family and I have worked with Jonathan and his team four times now. They have gave us positive results on each occasion. Jonathan goes above and beyond. to make sure the clients are satisfied with the results of the case. He has even reduced his fee for us before to ensure we the clients got the bulk of the settlement. I would definitely recommend using his firm. They are very good at what they do!

- yancey mcweay

I got into a minor car accident last November while pregnant. My daughter was also in back seat. I started treatment at Family Chiropractor and had no idea how to find an honest, reliable and professional attorney. Family Chiropractor referred Jonathan Brockman. I contacted several other attorneys, which turned out being dead ends. Mr. Brockman went above and beyond and scheduled to meet me personally at the Chiropractors office to discuss my case. The process was explained and clarified to my understanding. He was kind, efficient, and genuine. Even though my case was small and wasn’t the most profitable, I am your most appreciative client and that comes from the heart. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Brockman without reservation. I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney! Thank you!

- Natalia DeGannes

I was working and got run over by a woman not paying attention. Pedestrian vs. vehicle. Come to find out the lady had terrible insurance despite what she claimed. I didn’t deal much at all with Jonathan. Allen McDuffie and Sandy Newsam handled most of my case. They did the best they could regardless of the woman having minimal coverage. They fought the insurance company eliminating the need for trial and helped reduce my medical bills. I had significant anxiety and stress due to the circumstances, and Allen and Sandy were always there to calm me down. Had she had better insurance, I know they would have done much more.

- jase cummins

I would highly recommend Allen McDuffie at Jonathan Brockman, P.C. as your attorney. I had slipped and got injured at a gas station on my way moving to another state. He was prompt at answering my initial call and walked me through the process. I’ve never had to use an attorney for anything. Him and his team worked diligently to insure I was properly represented and made me feel that I was genuinely cared about through my injury and also during my rehabilitation. After being concerned that it would be a long drawn out process it actually only took less than a year for a generous settlement. He put my mind at ease during the whole process which was important.

- Sreve Picard

I’d like to say that Allen McDuffie is your guy! Very professional, understanding and caring. This was the first time being in a car accident and naturally we were nervous, not knowing exactly how to go about things. Mr. McDuffie put all of our worries at ease!! He always answers your calls, takes the time to listen you and explains everything in detail. I would highly recommend using Allen McDuffie for your personal injury attorney!

- Celese Jones

Attorney Allen McDuffie ROCKS! Allen represented me due to a fall. Allen McDuffie is super intelligent. Allen has worked both sides of the fence on personal injury, so he knows his stuff for real. Allen is such a genuine and caring man. No words can explain my profound gratitude. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Allen. Once you meet Allen, you will recognize he has one of the best personalities and attitudes around, but has full knowledge of the law. Thank you Allen McDuffie.

- Kristi Thompson

After being in an accident last November and being injured I was in need of a lawyer due to mounting medical bills. I have never needed a lawyer so made calls from the phone book. I called Brockman Law Firm. I first talked to Sandy about my situation , She was very helpful and made an appointment for me to see Allen McDuffie. After meeting with Allen he took the case and assured me he would handle the medical and Insurance issues. My job was to heal from my injures and keep all my doctor appointments. It has taken me months to recover . I was kept in contact with the staff at Brockman . They all were very concerned about my well being. That was very helpful to me through the long months of doctors and rehab. I am very grateful to all the staff and am very pleased with to outcome of my case. I highly advise anyone who has been in a accident to call Brockman Law Firm. Thank you to Allen Mcduffie and Sandy and all the staff.

- tommy galloway

I wish to extend a wholehearted thank you to Allen McDuffie and the entire team at the Jonathan R Brockman Law Firm. On September 4th, 2019, I was a victim in an accident in Peachtree City. Allen was the attorney who took my case. Not only did he handle my case with professionalism and fierceness, he exhibited genuine care and concern for my well being during a very tough time. Even when I felt like giving up, he continued fighting and never gave up until a very satisfactory and rewarding outcome could be reached. It was a long and arduous journey, but I’m glad that I had Allen by my side to navigate it.

- Pedro P

I was in a car accident late last year, and the idea of dealing with the at-fault driver’s insurance company was stressful. I researched reliable firms and attorneys that would be willing to take my case when I came across Jonathan R. Brockman, P.C. I got to work with Allen McDuffie, and I must say that he’s even better than his reviews. I had no idea what my case entailed, but throughout the entire process, he made sure to explain things simply, provide expert guidance, and ensure that I maintained my peace of mind. It was refreshing to work with someone who actually cared about my personal well-being after hearing horror stories of people who went to other firms and were taken advantage of. My experience with Allen McDuffie over these past few months has been wonderful. Should I find myself needing a personal injury attorney in the future, I know exactly who to call.

- Leandra Colley

Mr. Allen McDuffie was truly amazing and extremely professional. Throughout the entire process he would return my calls and emails the same day. It was not hard to get in contact with him.

If I could rate more than 5 stars I would because your services was above and beyond most attorneys. Thanks again!

- Lizzy Shimmer Candle Co.

Never having to hire an attorney, I wasn’t sure where to begin. I did a google search for local attorneys who specialized in personal injury cases and decided to go with this law firm based on their reviews. BEST decision I could have made. Allen McDuffie was excellent. From the very first phone call, I knew I would be happy with him representing me. Allen is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. He told me step by step what to expect. He answered every question I had throughout the entire process in a timey fashion. If you are looking for a personal injury attorney who will take the time and get to know you and represent you – look no further!
I can’t thank Allen enough for all he did to help me in this process and settle my case. Truly outstanding!

- Ms T

I am beyond grateful for the wonderful experience I had with Allen McDuffie. After being dropped by my previous attorney, I felt helpless. Coming from another state and not knowing the GA law. I didn’t know what my chances were settling this personal injury case. Allen was very helpful and explained everything in great details, made sure I was taken care of. He was very professional and very fair. He have definitely kept his words and fought hard for my case. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thank you again Allen for your hard work.

- Melody Pierrissaint

I can’t say enough great things about Jon Brockman, Allen McDuffie and their whole team! I hired them when I was hitting a brick wall with the insurance company of the guy that hit my car. I was so frustrated and didn’t know what to do. I googled attorney’s near me they had great reviews so I called. This was during the holidays and Allen called me back himself within an hour. He was extremely kind from day 1. He and his staff kept me in the loop of what was happening with my case. If I called he always responded quickly. He explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable pursuing the settlement. I met Jon at the closing and was so impressed with how genuine and kind he is also. Both very down to earth and easy to talk to and at the end of the day truly did the best for me! I hope I never need an attorney again but if I do or any of my friends or family I will highly recommend Jonathan Brockman, P.C. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

- Karen Osmon

In the summer of 2022 I was involved in a significant auto accident and sought out this practice because of reviews I read. The attorney who originally took the case retired right at the point I finished treatment. I was very concerned because a new attorney took over the case. My intent was to simply find another lawyer to represent me. I then spoke with the attorney who took over. Rob DeMetz took the time to listen to my concerns, helped me understand where we were and helped me arrive at the conclusion that I could be confident in his ability. From that point, Mr. DeMetz performed exactly as promised. During the process there were important decisions to be made and Rob’s ability to frame them properly allowed me to make the best decisions for my situation. He was able to negotiate a fair and equitable settlement. In fact, he negotiated a higher settlement than expected. From beginning to this final stage, Rob DeMetz has shown me I chose the right attorney. He has my highest recommendation. I never want to see him again, but should I have a similar misfortune, he will be the first call I make! Thank you for everything Rob!

I had a slip and fall accident at work on 8/23/18. I was out of work until 10/09/18. I was in the hospital and rehab from 8/23/18 until 9/14/18. I was unable to get fair treatment from the company’s insurance company regarding the payment of my hospital bills and repayment of Medicare. After I received a request for payment from Medicare I contacted Jonathan R. Brockman. I googled personal injury attorneys and he was the first one who had a five star rating. I am 100 percent satisfied with the results of my case and the settlement I received. I would highly recommend Jonathan R. Brockman to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

I had an accident and didn’t know how to navigate the aftermath concerning my medical bills and the insurance company. Cynthia Daley, of the Brockman firm, guided me through the lengthy process, making sure that I covered myself at every step so that I would not get stuck with thousands of dollars worth of medical bills. She was amazing.
The assistance she provided helped give me peace of mind and gave me the confidence to not be overwhelmed by the entire process. She was easy to talk to and quick to respond whenever I had a question. My bills were covered, and I felt that I was compensated fairly for my time and inconveniences I incurred as a result of the accident.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a lawyer after a car accident, then I would highly recommend this firm, specifically Cynthia Daley.

- No co

Jonathan was very helpful throughout the entire process. He provided clear explanations so that I could make an educated decision about my case. He also provided sound advice for me to consider, when needed. Very good response time to questions and availability for questions. For the most part, the support staff was sufficient but not the same level of personal attention as from Jonathan himself. Overall, I am very pleased with the level of service I received from the firm.

- L Rodrigues

After my car accident, I wasn’t sure who to go to for help. Jonathan Brockman was highly recommended, so I chose him to represent me.

Cynthia kept me informed every step of the way and was happy to answer all of my questions. These are good people helping good people.

“ Jonathan R. Brockman, P.C. A Personal Injury Law Firm, and his team were the best choice we could have made. ”

No one can ever predict an event like a horrible accident. When something like this happens, we only have control over who will represent us. Jonathan R. Brockman, P.C. A Personal Injury Law Firm, and his team were the best choice we could have made. In 2020 my mom was in an accident, and after reading all the reviews, we decided to work with this team. All I can say is that I 100% recommend this firm, due to their attentiveness, patience and hard word. My mother (who was involved in the accident) does not speak English, and this causes the process to be a bit more lengthy and tedious. However, they worked with us throughout every step with care and patience, and made sure to fight for my mother and get what she deserved. I was in close communication with Stephanie and Ronnie and can attest to their professionalism and attentiveness. If you ever come into a situation where you need representation, this is the right law firm.

- Mirelli Reis

Could not have asked for better representation. Thanks once again for your legal advice, time, and efforts. THANKS.

“ Passionate about winning Attorney ”

“I have been a client of Jon Brockman’s for the past three years now and have not second guessed at my decision in obtaining his counsel one time! He is a very straightforward, easy to contact, passionate about winning attorney! My wrongful death case was a long battle and the insurance company played direct. But Jon never backed down for a moment. He is like having three attorneys in one, always professionally ready for any situation! Whether it be a very confrontational opposing side, or a game plan for court that leaves the opposing attorney guessing at his every move! I went through several different court hearings with Jon as my attorney, awarded in our favor with the settlement and paid in full shortly after! I have been pleased over & over again with Jon Brockman’s hard work, and in the courtroom his long hours and hard work really pays off! I have and will recommend Jonathan Brockman to anyone who is in need of a great attorney!”

“ John Brockman Exceeded my expectations and improved the quality of my life ”

“After being hit by another driver, I called Jon Brockman and arranged for a free consultation. I was immediately impressed by Jon’s interest in me as a person. He listened to my description of the accident and the injuries involved. He explained my options as they related to dealing directly with the other driver’s insurance company versus allowing his firm to represent me.
I asked Jon to handle my base because I felt confident in his skills as an attorney and genuinely believed he had my best interest at heart.
It only took a couple of sections for the other driver to total my car, but it took months to recover from the injuries. Jon arranged for medical care and therapy with no out-of-pocket costs to me. He communicated regularly with me and my doctors regarding my progress because it was important to him that I recover before settling the case.
Jon Brockman exceeded my expectations and improved the quality of my life. The people in his office are a joy to work with, I didn’t know Jon before my accident, but I now think of him as a friend as well as an outstanding attorney. Without pause, I will highly recommend Jon and his firm to any of my family and friends.”

“ Mr. Brockman went above and beyond ”

“I got into a minor car accident last November while pregnant. My daughter was also in back seat. I started treatment at Family Chiropractor and had no idea how to find an honest, reliable and professional attorney. Family Chiropractor referred Jonathan Brockman. I contacted several other attorneys, which turned out being dead ends. Mr. Brockman went above and beyond and scheduled to meet me personally at the Chiropractors office to discuss my case. The process was explained and clarified to my understanding. He was kind, efficient, and genuine. Even though my case was small and wasn’t the most profitable, I am your most appreciative client and that comes from the heart. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Brockman without reservation. I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney! Thank you!”

“ Allen and Sandy were always there to calm me down ”

“I was working and got run over by a woman not paying attention. Pedestrian vs. vehicle. Come to find out the lady had terrible insurance despite what she claimed. I didn’t deal much at all with Jonathan. Allen McDuffie and Sandy Newsam handled most of my case. They did the best they could regardless of the woman having minimal coverage. They fought the insurance company eliminating the need for trial and helped reduce my medical bills. I had significant anxiety and stress due to the circumstances, and Allen and Sandy were always there to calm me down. Had she had better insurance, I know they would have done much more”

“ Jonathan was very helpful throughout the entire process ”

“Jonathan was very helpful throughout the entire process. He provided clear explanations so that I could make an educated decision about my case. He also provided sound advice for me to consider, when needed. Very good response time to questions and availability for questions. For the most part, the support staff was sufficient but not the same level of personal attention as from Jonathan himself. Overall, I am very pleased with the level of service I received from the firm.”

“ They did an excellent job helping me with my case ”

“They did an excellent job helping me with my case. They let me know what was happening & took the time to explain how my case was going. Some rear ended my vehicle while while I was on the road. My wife had actually spoken with Jonathan Brockman about how her attorney Van Sant was taking long to help her. Van Sant & their staff did not communicate well & gave her a very small part of the settlement. So, when I had my accident I remembered how Mr. Brockman took the time to help my wife even though she wasn’t thier client. They set me up with good therapists & doctors. I also received a good portion of the settlement while my wife received a minuscule amount as compared to what Van Sant received. Even when everything was done he said I could call on him for legal questions. Sorry this took me a while to post & I hope you will choose Jonathan Brockman for your attorney as well.”

“ The assistance she provided helped give me peace of mind and gave me the confidence to not be overwhelmed by the entire process ”

“I had an accident and didn’t know how to navigate the aftermath concerning my medical bills and the insurance company. Cynthia Daley, of the Brockman firm, guided me through the lengthy process, making sure that I covered myself at every step so that I would not get stuck with thousands of dollars worth of medical bills. She was amazing.
The assistance she provided helped give me peace of mind and gave me the confidence to not be overwhelmed by the entire process. She was easy to talk to and quick to respond whenever I had a question. My bills were covered, and I felt that I was compensated fairly for my time and inconveniences I incurred as a result of the accident.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a lawyer after a car accident, then I would highly recommend this firm, specifically Cynthia Daley.”

“ My experience with Allen McDuffie over these past few months has been wonderful. ”

“I was in a car accident late last year, and the idea of dealing with the at-fault driver’s insurance company was stressful. I researched reliable firms and attorneys that would be willing to take my case when I came across Jonathan R. Brockman, P.C. I got to work with Allen McDuffie, and I must say that he’s even better than his reviews. I had no idea what my case entailed, but throughout the entire process, he made sure to explain things simply, provide expert guidance, and ensure that I maintained my peace of mind. It was refreshing to work with someone who actually cared about my personal well-being after hearing horror stories of people who went to other firms and were taken advantage of. My experience with Allen McDuffie over these past few months has been wonderful. Should I find myself needing a personal injury attorney in the future, I know exactly who to call.”

“ My experience with Allen McDuffie has been the BEST ”

“I work for a prominent physician and my experience with Allen McDuffie has been the BEST. He is very responsive to my emails and very forthright in his communications. His clients say very nice things about him and that says it all to me. If I ever need a personal injury attorney, he will definitely be who I call and I will refer my family and friends to him as well.”
