Average Personal Injury Verdict in Michigan
October 27, 2008, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
Jury Verdict Research recently released a new study looking at the average personal injury awards in Michigan: $1,089,638. As always, big personal injury verdicts conflate the average; the median personal injury compensation award in Michigan is $99,506. Interestingly, plaintiffs receive a financial recovery in 44% of personal injury lawsuits that go to trial compared to the national average of 52%. These numbers are misleading because the type of case has a huge bearing on both the average recovery and the plaintiffs' success rate. But this data from Michigan is still interesting to personal injury lawyers and accident and malpractice victims in Michigan.
