Opinion: Reject legislation that will increase costs, clog our courts, and enrich plaintiffs’ lawyers
They are pushing for policies that will further drive up the cost of doing business in California and saddle our over-burdened courts with more unnecessary litigation. It should be no surprise these policies will make lawyers richer.
Arbitration allows workers, consumers, and businesses to resolve disputes without costly and time-consuming lawsuits. Instead of going to court, the parties meet in a less formal setting such as a conference room, and a neutral person, like a retired judge or a lawyer mutually selected by the parties, hears and decides the case.
Recent studies show that employees and consumers fare better with arbitration. Arbitration is faster and employees are three times more likely to win in arbitration than in court. Employees on average win twice as much in arbitration than in court, i.e., $520,630 versus $269,885. And consumers on average won more as well – over $10,000 more on average per case in arbitration rather than in court.
