Texas Average Personal Injury Jury Verdict

I've written in the past about personal injury verdicts in Texas. A recent Jury Verdict Research found that the average verdict in a personal injury lawsuit in Texas is $826,892. But Texas is a particular example of the differences between the median and average jury verdicts: the median award is just $12,281. You can always drive a truck between the difference between average jury verdicts and median jury verdicts. But it Texas, this gap would not covered by a fleet of trucks.

The average is also distorted by huge verdict that are not collectible. A Texas jury awarded $118 million - the highest verdict included in this Texas jury verdict study - to the widow of a worker who died in Phillips Petroleum Co. explosion but the Texas cap on punitive damages reduced that award to under $12 million.
