If your elderly parent or relative died or was seriously injured due to nursing home negligence or abuse, you can file a lawsuit against the nursing home facility and get financial compensation.

Pennsylvania nursing homes get sued for negligence, abuse, and medical malpractice on a regular basis. Plaintiffs in Pennsylvania nursing home lawsuits have a very high success rate, and most nursing home facilities prefer to settle cases before they go to trial.

A Jury Verdict Research study found that the median award in Minnesota in personal injury cases is an even $30,000. Minnesota personal injury plaintiffs receive an award in 67 percent of cases that go to trial.

The median compensation in Minnesota is somewhat below the national median of $38,179. I suspect Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Rochester verdicts inflate that average a bit. But because Minnesota has no-fault coverage (or PIP) that we discuss in detail below in motor vehicle wreck claims up to $40,000 ($20,000 for medical bills and $20,000 for economic loss) that is subject to the collateral source rule, Minnesota personal injury lawyers tend to have few small cases in Minnesota.

In other words, Minnesota law provides that awards are offset by collateral source payments (if the source of reimbursement does not have a subrogation right). So the gap between Minnesota’s median and the national median verdict is probably wider than the numbers reflect. Not surprisingly, U.S. Chamber of Commerce data found Minnesota juries to be the “15th best,” which means the 15th worst for personal injury victims.

Below is a look at settlements and verdicts in Michigan, followed by a full breakdown of Michigan’s personal injury, product liability, and medical malpractice law.

Jury Verdict Research at one point released a study of Michigan’s average personal injury awards: $1,089,638. Personal injury verdicts always conflate the average; Michigan’s median personal injury compensation award 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 dramatically affects the average recovery and the plaintiffs’ success rate.
