- Wrongful DeathI have served as a mediator nearly 150 times in Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati and other cities throughout Ohio. My experience and expertise as a trial lawyer for defendants and plaintiffs in serious injury and wrongful death cases provides me with a balanced perspective as a mediator. The number of cases I have been asked to mediate has increased each year since 2014.
- Premises LiabilityMany cases involve serious injury or wrongful death due to alleged medical malpractice, product liability, defective medical device, premises liability, intentional tort or political subdivision liability. John Alton has also mediated 1983 actions, legal malpractice, negligent security, CSPA, and employment cases.
- Personal Injury“John Alton did a tremendous job as a mediator in a significant personal injury case. John was extremely well prepared for the mediation. He seemed to know the case as well as the attorneys handling the case. He worked diligently with both sides and helped us reach a settlement in spite of several complicating factors. I am confident that everyone involved came away satisfied that John handled the mediation without any bias for or against either party. He spent the time and effort with both sides to bring the case to a satisfactory resolution. I would recommend John to mediate any major or complex personal injury, professional negligence, or product liability case.”
- Medical MalpracticeMore than 50 medical malpractice, legal malpractice and property and casualty insurance companies and hospitals have requested or approved John Alton to mediate disputed claims.
