Arbitration
DITCHEY GEIGER, LLC is a nationwide subrogation collection firm registered as a TPA with Arbitration Forums, Inc.
We have a department of Arbitration Staff Writers that are dedicated to providing individually crafted arguments for liability and damage disputes that consistently win over “cut and paste” contentions. Staff Writers enjoy the benefit of our proprietary software system that provides claim specific access to jurisdictional doctrines of negligence, traffic codes, and past decisions to help formulate and produce the best approach.
Our contentions are drafted with consistent structure blending legal writing skills with easy to read analysis and conclusion. We understand how to interpret statutory responsibilities and communicate persuasive arguments that result in winning decisions.
Our principals are experienced as Arbitration Forums panel members and have a track record of success. Our clients can appreciate reduced claim handling costs with timely filings through our firm. In addition to cost savings, our clients can mitigate damage awards by engaging our services to assert effective defenses and counterclaims.
OUR PROCESS
