Preparing to mediate a health-care liability case in Georgia? Whether you have a medical malpractice case against professionals, wrongful death case or negligence case against a health-care entity, as a trial attorney and mediator who has handled these types of cases for over 22 years, I’ve compiled these five health-care mediation strategies to help put you and your clients in the best position to reach a settlement agreement when mediating a health-care or medical-malpractice case:

No matter when or why, the goal of any mediation is to reach an agreement to resolve the case.
