Mediation Statement

A Mediation Statement is a written document prepared by a policyholder or an insurer in advance of a mediation session in an insurance claim or lawsuit. The statement typically sets forth the party’s position on the key issues in dispute, the relevant facts and evidence, and any settlement offers or demands. The purpose of the mediation statement is to provide the mediator and the opposing party with a clear and concise summary of the party’s case and to facilitate productive settlement discussions. Mediation statements are typically confidential and may not be used as evidence in any subsequent legal proceedings. Effective mediation statements are well-organized, persuasive, and focused on the key issues and interests of the parties.
