California Personal Injury Settlements

This page looks at settlement payouts and jury awards in personal injury cases in California. We provide statistics on reported settlements and jury verdicts, as well as factual summaries of recent cases resulting in payouts.

We also provide an overview of key personal injury laws in California, including the statute of limitations for injury claims, medical malpractice rules, comparative fault, and limits on damages.

Historical research published by Jury Verdict Research reported a compensatory median award of $150,000 in California personal injury trials, an average award of approximately $1.6 million, and a plaintiff recovery rate of about 45 percent. Those figures are useful background, but they should not be mistaken for current statewide averages. The dataset is not a live measure of 2026 verdicts, and the mix of catastrophic cases can push the mathematical average far above the result in a typical case.

Victims of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both their abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

California Birth Injury Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

California birth injury lawsuits are about holding doctors, nurses, hospitals, urgent care clinics, OB practices, and other health care providers accountable when preventable medical mistakes cause real harm to the child during the labor and delivery process. But the most devastating California malpractice cases our lawyers see are birth injury lawsuits. Birth injury cases are different. A missed diagnosis in an adult case can ruin a life. A negligent delivery can ruin the life of a child before that child ever gets a fair start. It can also change the parents’ lives forever.

These are the cases where the parents walk into the hospital expecting one of the happiest days of their lives, and they leave with a baby who has brain damage, seizures, cerebral palsy, a brachial plexus injury, or a lifetime need for medical care. That is hard to write. But it is the truth.

California birth injury lawsuits often focus on whether doctors and nurses failed to recognize fetal distress, delayed a C-section, mismanaged Pitocin, ignored abnormal fetal heart tracings, mishandled shoulder dystocia, failed to treat maternal infection, failed to respond to placental abruption, or failed to properly resuscitate the baby after delivery.

Maine Injury Settlements and Verdicts (and law)

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Ten years ago, I posted data showing the average personal injury verdict in Maine was approximately $27,000. These numbers do not tend to change much historically. So my guess is the average personal injury settlement in Maine is between $25,000 and $40,000.

But you have to understand how useless that is if you have a personal injury claim in Maine and you are trying to calculate or predict your settlement compensation payout.

Sample settlements and verdicts are not necessarily much better at projecting settlement amounts. But these are weapons you can use to better understand potential settlement compensation for an injury case in Maine.
