A recent study of jury verdicts found that the average personal injury jury verdict in Pennsylvania is $903,705.00.
Now let’s turn the kaleidoscope and look at the median. If you remember from the 9th grade, the median is found by ranking the data from biggest to smallest and then identifying the middle of the data so that there is an equal number that is larger and smaller on each side. If you had 1001 data points, the 500th biggest number would be in the middle.
For many data groups, the gap between the average and the median is the same or very close to it. With personal injury verdicts, they are usually light-years apart. This is reflected in this new study that just came out in Pennsylvania. The median compensatory award in Pennsylvania in the study was $45,000.00

In an opinion issued today, the Court dismissed the chapter 11 bankruptcy filed by a subsidiary J&J created to offload its growing talc liabilities.

Paraquat is a heavy-duty herbicide that has been widely used in commercial farming in the U.S. for decades. Recent scientific research has shown that chronic exposure to Paraquat can significantly increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The emergence of this evidence has led to thousands of former farmers filing Paraquat lawsuits alleging that their occupational exposure to the herbicide caused them to develop Parkinson’s disease.
The Paraquat product liability lawsuits have been consolidated into a class action MDL that has been ongoing for the last two years. In this post, we will look back at how the Paraquat litigation unfolded, the current status of this ongoing mass tort, and what to expect from the Paraquat litigation in 2023.

The U.S. national debt is about to hit its maximum ceiling again. This means the federal government could be heading for another budget showdown between President Biden and the Republican-controlled Congress. Previous budget showdowns have resulted in government shutdowns and eventually reductions in the level of government spending.
Many Camp Lejeune victims who have filed claims seeking compensation under the new Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) may be wondering whether the budget crisis could potentially impact CLJA settlement payouts. Compensation payments under the CLJA are expected to cost the federal government as much as $26 billion over the next few years. The question is whether this large expenditure could end up getting cut as part of the pending budget negotiations.
The short answer is NO. The $26 billion earmarked for Camp Lejeune victims is not at risk of being reduced or eliminated as part of the budget negotiations. However, the budget crisis could result in an extended shutdown of the federal government and that would significantly slow down the already slow CLJA claim process.
