Any non-party insurance company, which has not offered policy limits, must send a representative to the mediation.  But, if the insured party has any exposure outside policy limits or has any control or influence on the amount paid within policy limits, then both the insured party and the insurance representative must attend.

All parties must participate in the process in good faith and with the intention to settle if at all possible;

All parties and their attorneys must review and accept the “Rules for Mediation” which accompany the “Agreement for Mediation” and “Instructions for Mediation”.
