If you can't reach an agreement through mediation, you still have options, and our team is here to help you.
If mediation doesn't work, it's important to remember that it's intended to help the disputing parties reach a mutual solution through open communication. Although you and the other party might not reach a resolution, that doesn't necessarily mean the mediation is a waste of time, money, or effort.
Generally, if the disputing parties fail to agree or settle, they could undergo an evaluative approach. This approach means the mediator would assume the role of a fictitious courtroom through which they'd consider all evidence and facts presented to them. The mediator would then predict the court's decision on the matter.
If you cannot reach an agreement via mediation, you may consider these other options:
- Go to trial and have your case reviewed and decided by a judge.
- Begin a new mediation with a different mediator.
- Continue pursuing negotiations on your own.
