Nick and his insurer want a third party to facilitate their negotiation in an advisory role after disagreeing on repair costs. What is the best option?

  1. Litigation

  2. Declaratory judgment action

  3. Mediation

  4. Arbitration

The correct answer is: Mediation

Mediation is the best option because it allows for a neutral third party to facilitate negotiations between Nick and his insurer. Litigation, declaratory judgment action, and arbitration all involve a formal legal process and can be expensive and time-consuming. Mediation, on the other hand, is less formal and can be a more efficient and cost-effective way to reach a resolution. Additionally, in litigation and declaratory judgment action, a judge or jury makes the final decision, while in arbitration, an arbitrator makes the decision. With mediation, Nick and his insurer have more control over the outcome as they work together with the mediator to come to a mutual agreement.
