There is no public record of a mediation session (no court reporter is present) and discussions are confidential, unless otherwise provided for by law, regulation or rule. Mediation is not binding (except for any agreement reached by the parties) and a party may withdraw from mediation at any time.

Mediation can be helpful in resolving legal disputes. It is not legally binding unless the parties enter a settlement agreement, also sometimes referred to as a mediation agreement. Mediation can also be legally binding if it is court-ordered. However, that is rare in personal injury cases.

Mediation services are confidential under Pennsylvania law. This allows the complainants and complaint respondents the freedom to express themselves without fear of what they say being held against them. The mediator does not keep notes of discussions during the mediation session.

The cost of mediation varies from $100 to as much as $250 a session. (Attorneys who are mediators usually charge more than non-attorneys).

In order for the mediation agreement to become legally binding, the parties must reduce the agreement to writing through a contract or mediation agreement. Once the terms of the agreement are written and signed by both parties, it becomes a legally binding contract.
