Jury Verdict Research Releases Annual Verdict Survey Plaintiff Recovery Probability in Personal Injury Cases Holds Steady bove 50



April 7, 2005 -- The odds of a plaintiff winning his case remains steady in recent years, according to Jury Verdict Research's annual report, "Current Award Trends in Personal Injury -44th Edition." This portion of the study examines the number of plaintiff verdicts compared to the total number of verdicts. Cases of admitted or directed liability were omitted. After steadily climbing since 1997, the plaintiff recovery probability has leveled off the last two years studied. (See table attached).

The 53-page study of personal-injury jury award s also reported that the compensatory jury-award median for premises-liability cases was down considerably from $156,398 in 2002 to $90,055 in 2003. The vehicular liability jury-award median was up to $17,350 in 2003 compared to $13,782 in 2002.
