When anxiety affects family routines after a motorcycle crash, specific records can describe what changed. Learn how to separate everyday observations from medical conclusions and questions about a claim.
A mediated settlement conference is a facilitated process; it does not decide a case unless an agreement is reached and has the required effect.
The court program
The North Carolina Judicial Branch Mediated Settlement Conference Program explains that its Superior Court rules provide a framework for settlement procedures in civil actions. The rules and local orders govern when a conference is ordered, attendance, selection of a mediator, fees, reports, and other procedure.
What a mediator does not do
- A mediator facilitates discussion; the mediator does not act as a judge or jury
- A conference does not establish responsibility, damages, or the value of a claim
- Parties should read the current order, rules, notices, and any proposed agreement carefully
- Whether to make, accept, or reject a proposal depends on the facts, law, and the person’s own decision-making
