Arbitration Agreements – Can Arbitration Be Appealed in Court?

There are two reasons why you may wish to enlist the services of an arbitration service. First, a disagreement with your current insurance provider may make it difficult to pursue the issue with them alone. Second, you want to make sure that your dispute is handled fairly and amicably. In either situation, an arbitration agreement with your current insurer can help you eliminate the need for you to take your case to court.

Of course, if your dispute has arisen because you have been overcharged for your premiums, you may be wondering whether you can appeal an arbitration award in court. The answer is yes, you can! A good arbitration service will allow you to do so, although they will have to act on your behalf.

Even if the arbitration panel ruled in your favor, you may still want to ask the insurance company to waive the arbitration. You can request that the arbitrator or arbitrators take no action on your claim. The insurer will then get the benefit of not having to spend time and money defending a case in arbitration.

An arbitration agreement should provide for legal counsel to handle any appeals that you may have. While arbitration agreements normally include provisions stating that the arbitrator and panel “shall render his decision in writing”, there are exceptions to this rule. It is important that you read your agreement carefully.

Some arbitration agreements stipulate that the arbitration panel must render its ruling within 60 days after receiving the arbitration agreement. Others state that the panel must render its decision within thirty days from the date the arbitrator or arbitrators accept service of process. In all cases, the agreement should state that the panel’s decision must be in writing and can be appealed in court.

Of course, even with an arbitration agreement in place, you may still want to request that your arbitration case be taken to court. There are many circumstances under which an arbitration agreement can be altered to allow a court appeal. It is important to understand your arbitration agreement and all of the circumstances surrounding it before you attempt to take your case to court.

One way that you can request that your arbitration case be taken to court is if the arbitration panel ruled in your favor because the dispute was founded on a business practice of the company that the insurer does not share. For example, you may be entitled to reimbursement for a small portion of your medical claim. The arbitration panel ruling on this small claim may have the effect of overriding any arbitration award for a larger claim.

An arbitration agreement can also be altered by you in order to request that the arbitration panel to rule on a claim for workers’ compensation. Under certain circumstances, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits on the basis of your injury. Under the conditions stated in your arbitration agreement, the arbitration panel could rule that the small claim is not a workers compensation claim, therefore, awarding your small claim.

Employees can also raise claims for negligence against their employers. Again, the arbitration agreement can be modified to allow for an appeal. This occurs most often when a jury verdict is awarded in favor of an employee who had no ability to influence the arbitration process. You should always investigate any dispute that you feel might be based on a breach of your arbitration agreement.

While the arbitration agreement can serve as a very helpful document, it can also be used against you in court. There are many times when the terms of the arbitration agreement may conflict with a court order. If the arbitration panel finds that you are not entitled to receive compensation for your injuries, it may be required to vacate the award and return the award to the employer. This can occur even if the arbitration panel finds in your favor, if the agreement does not specify the proper course of action for the company.

Because of the conflict between the arbitration agreement and a court order, arbitration agreements must be clearly set out in writing. It should include the terms of the arbitration, including how much time is allowed for filing appeals and how long before a final award is released. A qualified arbitration professional will work with you to create your agreement. They should also explain all of the key points that are important to you and also give you information on how you can collect your award from the employer.
