Oregon Personal Injury Arbitrations & Mediations

Personal injury arbitration and mediation cases occupy a unique corner of the legal universe. These cases bring with them their own set of challenges and their own uniquely personal, emotional and financial impact on both parties. Oftentimes, maybe most times, going all the way to trial is in not in the best interest of either litigant. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, which are in many cases mandatory, are often the best way for all parties to find a resolution that they can live with, so they can get on with the business of living their lives. Personal injury lawyers know this and many of their clients learn it in the process. Whether it’s a mediation or arbitration, the neutral party must have experience in the unique elements of the personal injury field. Having spent nearly half of her career on the defense side and half of her career on the plaintiff side, Sarah Nelson brings the kind of experience to a mediation or arbitration that is required to achieve a fair, balanced and measured resolution to a case.

Premier Portland Attorney Sarah Nelson Arbitrations and Mediations

Sarah Nelson has more than 17 years experience in personal injury litigation. It is the only law she does. Sarah Nelson spent the first half of her career working on the defense side of personal injury litigation as an in-house lawyer for Farmer’s Insurance. She has spent the second half of her career representing personal injury plaintiffs in working to recover from the insurance companies she used to represent. Sarah has taken over 100 cases to arbitration and trial as both a plaintiff’s lawyer and a defense lawyer. In the process, she has learned what facts matter to a jury, what facts and circumstances matter to the litigants and insurance companies. Most importantly, Sarah has learned to identify the value range of a case – and the only way to do this is to do it from the perspective of both sides and the potential jury. In the last several years, Sarah has taken her knowledge and applied it to mediations and arbitrations, to the benefit of both plaintiffs and defendants. Today, Sarah Nelson acts exclusively as a mediator and arbitrator.
