Alabama, Florida, and Georgia Injury Settlements
and Jury Awards

The Alabama, Florida, and Georgia injury settlements and jury award we studied showed some definite trends. For these states, we studied the settlement trends of the cases that were reported publically. Many settlements with insurance companies are kept confidential, so it is difficult to ascertain a true and accurate pool of data.

In Alabama, we studied the settlement trends in the following counties and districts: Jefferson, Madison, Mobile, and Montgomery. In Florida, we analyzed: Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Duval, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Orange, Lee, and Dade. Finally, in Georgia, we looked at data from Fulton, Gwinnett, Dekalb, Cobb, and Bibb.

Note: We did take into account several other counties and districts and their data is complied under the "other" category.

Here is what we found:
