Is It a Good Mediated Settlement If Everyone Goes Away Unhappy? No!


ROBERT G. HEYWOOD, ESQ.

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

I’ve been a mediator in over 1,000 workers’ compensation and related cases for over 20 years and have participated in hundreds more as an advocate. During this time, I have occasionally heard attorneys tell their clients something along the lines of, "If everyone goes away unhappy, it’s a good settlement." Even worse, I’ve heard mediators say, "If everyone goes away unhappy, I’ve done my job."
