Arbitration

The American Arbitration Association provides the following definition:

Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding decision. Through contractual provisions, the parties may control the range of issues to be resolved, the scope of relief to be awarded, and many procedural aspects of the process.

Unlike mediation, arbitration is considered binding on the parties involved. McMahan Law Firm most often utilizes arbitration in matters where extra recovery is sought from a client's uninsured motorist carrier in an automobile accident case under Tennessee law.
