Ilinois Personal Injury Verdict Statistics

July 20, 2009, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A Jury Verdict Research found that the median money damages award for personal injury lawsuits that go to trial in Illinois is $26,624. Plaintiffs receive damages in 51 percent of cases that go to trial. These are the statistics from 2002-2008.

Unlike average jury verdict statistics, median jury verdict data blunts larger cases, including the approximately 8% of jury verdicts in Illinois that were over $1 million.
