Average Car Accident Verdict in Arizona
Jury Verdict Research found that that the median money damage award in vehicle accident cases in Arizona is $16,929. Plaintiffs win money damages in 53 percent of cases that go to trial.
JVR also breaks down the type of accident: rear-end accidents accounted for 27 percent of the total number of plaintiff verdicts; intersection accidents accounted for 13 percent; turning collisions accounted for 12 percent; truck accidents accounted for 11 percent; chain reaction collisions accounted for 9 percent. All other liabilities made up 8 percent or less of the total.
I'm not sure why truck accidents were given their own category in the type of accidents. But this Arizona verdict data is interesting and I think reflects the relative proportions of the different types of vehicle accidents nationally.
