Bladder cancer has recently become the focus of the ongoing Zantac lawsuit. In this post, we will look at bladder cancer in personal injury lawsuits.

We examine the nature of bladder cancer as a disease and as an injury in medical malpractice, product liability, and other types of tort cases. Our lawyers also discuss the settlement compensation amounts for bladder cancer in tort cases. We think bladder cancer is the strongest type of Zantac lawsuit, and our law firm is now limiting new cases in 2024 to either bladder or liver cancer.

Why Bladder Cancer Is in Focus

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.

Emotional distress or emotional harm can often be just as painful as a physical injury. This post will provide a detailed, reliable answer to the very common question of when someone can file a lawsuit and get damages for emotional distress.

What is Emotional Distress?

Emotional distress is a legal term that is used to describe mental pain, suffering, or anguish that is caused by the negligent or intentional actions of someone else. Tort law in the U.S. generally recognizes emotional distress (often referred to as “pain & suffering”) as a type of injury for which monetary damages can be awarded. In most states, however, damages can only be awarded for emotional distress if the emotional distress is directly caused by physical harm.

Our law firm is actively investigating sex abuse lawsuits involving Dr. Oumair Aejaz, an internal medicine physician who worked at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and Ascension Genesys Hospital in Michigan.

The page focuses on the ongoing sexual abuse lawsuit against Dr. Oumair Aejaz, a Michigan physician accused of secretly recording patients, including children, in vulnerable situations at hospitals. Dr. Aejaz faces multiple felony charges, and his misconduct may extend across several states due to his role as a contracted physician.

Our lawyers will discuss the potential legal liability of the hospitals where Dr. Aejaz worked and provides early estimates for settlement amounts. While it’s still early in the litigation, we also look at potential settlement amounts in these lawsuits.

The post is about the settlement compensation payouts you can expect in Pennsylvania.

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

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.
