Health Law

• Personal Injury
  QLG Attorney Tereasa Rerko has been practicing law for more than 37 years. During that time, she has handled many different types of cases and in various forms of litigation such as family law matters, personal injury matters, workers’ compensation cases, and general civil litigation matters. Those required participation in settlement conferences, mediations, arbitrations, informal negotiation of settlements of cases such as motor vehicle accidents. All of that experience has provided a wealth of knowledge of the alternative ways to resolve conflicts. Attorney Rerko has served as an arbitrator for cases in the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County, including serving as a chair of the arbitration panels. With the completion of her Masters’ Degree in Conflict Resolution, she has acquired additional hands-on experience with group simulated mediation exercises, as well as extensive classwork and thus honing the skills and knowledge necessary to serve as a third party neutral – a Mediator – in conflict situations. While knowledge of the substantive law of the particular dispute is not necessary to serving as a mediator, her many years of experience in handling cases in litigation settings and acting as an advocate for her clients, along with this MA Degree, will enhance her ability to mediate cases for those who require the assistance of a third party neutral to resolve their conflict. In a culture of ever-increasing lawsuits, more alternative means of resolving those disputes is a good direction to take, and one that will reduce court backlog as well as achieve quicker results for litigants.
