Why Does Kaiser Prefer Arbitration?

September 29, 2025 |

By Peterson Injury Law

Kaiser prefers arbitration because arbitrators often award lower damages than juries. Disputes frequently arise over case value, with Kaiser’s attorneys seeking smaller awards even if negligence is found. Since some arbitrators are conservative, they may compromise on verdicts, sometimes favoring the patient but awarding amounts closer to Kaiser’s position. While more plaintiffs may win in arbitration compared to jury trials, the payouts are usually lower.
