Plaintiff v. Child welfare services

PeopleClaim trials allow you to connect with people who can get your case resolved by competing to find the best resolution. Our resolution community includes lawyers and mediators, industry experts, consumer advocates, and regular people like you with a sense of justice and a desire to help.

Members of our resolution community are invited to propose resolutions to posted disputes. The disputing parties can then review, rank, and request more feedback on contributed solutions. This helps both sides define their issues and discover resolutions that meet their mutual needs and interests. Importantly, it also helps reflect public opinion about the fairest resolution to any problem — something becoming increasingly important to businesses and often more motivating than traditional legal remedies. In other words, PeopleClaim helps businesses resolve disputes based on public expectations of fairness and good business practices and policies rather than traditional legal processes involving threats, negativity, and complicated legal procedure. Both parties win by finding the best solution at the least cost, allowing them to settle their case and move on.

Because PeopleClaim is a fairness-based system of justice, anyone can participate, regardless of their skill, training, or background. Cases are resolved because everyone has a basic sense of fairness, and people with specific expertise can help provide insights and information that may be important in finding common ground. Our resolution community includes lawyers, professional mediators, consumer advocates, people experienced in different industries, and anyone with a sense of justice.
