Truck Accident Verdicts
Last month, I wrote a bit about Jury Verdict Research, which conducts studies of jury verdicts around the country. A recent Jury Verdict Research study of truck accidents from January 1996 to January 2005 found that truck accident victims recover damages in 60% of personal injury trials and receive a median compensatory award of $90,000. The average truck accident case involving a disc injury, usually a herniated disc, was $122,532. In contrast, the average median verdict in a head-on truck accident case the study was $532,034.
