Michigan Personal Injury Settlement Amounts

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Jury Verdict Research recently released a new 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.

But this data from Michigan and this information about settlements and verdicts are still undeniably interesting to personal injury lawyers and accident and malpractice victims in Michigan.
