Idaho Personal Injury Jury Verdicts
April 18, 2008, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
Aided by what I think is the second highest personal injury jury award in Idaho history (there was a $30 million dollar malpractice award in 1999) the average personal injury award in Idaho was $429,119, according to Jury Verdict Research that complied data from 2000-2006. Before Idaho personal injury lawyers and their clients overestimated the real value of injury cases in Idaho, this number deflates dramatically when using the median instead of the average personal injury verdict. The median verdict is $17,000. Idaho personal injury plaintiffs obtained a recovery in 56% of the cases that went to trial during this same time period.
