Pennsylvania Injury Settlements and Jury Awards

Pennsylvania injury settlements and jury decisions showed some definite trends. The highest injury award that we found was for $88,700,000 from Philadelphia county. There maybe a higher award, however, in many cases the insurance company requires confidentiality so it is uncertain whether there are other settlements that are not in the public registry.

In Pennsylvania, we studied the settlement trends in the following counties and districts: Philadelphia, Allegheny, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Cumberland, Lancaster, Westmoreland, Erie, and Chester.

Here is what we found:
