When people are involved in a lawsuit after a serious accident, they often expect a drawn-out, adversarial legal process. Litigation in Colorado can be emotionally draining, financially burdensome, and time-consuming. Fortunately, there’s another path: mediation, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that’s becoming increasingly common in Colorado courts.
In fact, many counties in Colorado require mediation once litigation has begun, including in personal injury cases. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, truck accident, or another negligence-related case, understanding mediation is key to knowing what to expect and how it could impact your recovery.
