CLE Webinar: Why Wait for the Court? Using ADR for the Resolution of Personal Injury Claims 

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a cost effective and efficient option for the settlement of disputes.  Many accident injury cases begin as a court proceeding and are later resolved through ADR, avoiding the need for a trial.

Our esteemed panel will be presenting an intriguing program to the members of the Suffolk County Bar Association on the growing trend of using ADR in settling matters with an emphasis on personal injury disputes. The Honorable Paul J. Baisley, Jr. (Ret.) and Glenn Sabele, Esq. will provide insights for navigating these claims, as well as offering best practices to maximize the benefits of settling personal injury disputes through alternative dispute resolution. 

This 60-minute CLE webinar, “Why Wait for the Court? Using ADR for the Resolution of Personal Injury Claims,” will be presented on Thursday, December 14 at 6:00 p.m. and will be available only to members of the Suffolk County Bar Association.
