How do I initiate a securities arbitration claim?
In Kansas, if you feel that you were treated unfairly in a securities transaction, you can initiate a securities arbitration claim. Securities arbitration claims are handled by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). To begin the process, you must contact FINRA and provide written notice of your claim. This notice should include a description of your complaint, the amount of money that is in dispute, the parties involved, and other details of the dispute. After FINRA receives your request, they will evaluate your claim and may assign an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators to review and settle the dispute. The arbitrator(s) will then contact both you and the other party to schedule a hearing. At the hearing, both sides will be able to present their case and evidence. You may have witnesses speak on your behalf. After the hearing, the arbitrator will decide how to resolve the dispute and will issue a written decision. Once the arbitrator has made their decision, both sides must follow the terms set out in the ruling. If either party fails to hold up their end of the agreement, the other party can file a motion to enforce the decision. Securities arbitration claims can be initiated in Kansas to resolve disputes.
