One of the ways forced arbitration benefits companies is that the individual being subjected to it knows their complaint will be decided by a kangaroo court.
They also know that any award they might receive will be smaller, and that if they do not win the case, the process will be costly and without appeal.
If the win rates remain unchanged after filtering out most of the consumer/employee complainants who don't have a slam dunk case, that is likely because there is systemic bias.
- Matticus_Rex 8y agoBut awards aren't smaller, it's LESS costly, and it's faster. People make the mistake of assuming that the advantage for companies has to be in the trial results, when the fact is that there's plenty of advantage of paying claimants at a higher rate as long as you're getting it done faster with fewer billable hours to your attorneys.
