I provide data from Jury Verdict Research frequently on this blog because I think it is helpful for personal injury lawyers to see the national prevalence of specific classes of cases. Below is a list of recovery percentages in truck accident cases that go to trial:
Broadside Collisions | 61% |
Head-On Collisions | $71% |
Intersection Collisions | 58% |
Multiple Vehicle Collisions | 73% |
No Contact Accidents | 52% |
Truck, Overall | 60% |
Jury Verdict Research also offers statistics on the median compensatory awards for a few different categories of truck accidents:
Head-On Collisions | $532,034 |
Intersection Collisions | $85,000 |
Truck Accidents Overall | $90,000 |
I suspect that most truck crash attorneys would agree that both the likelihood of recovery and the amount of recovery is higher in Maryland, but I have seen no state-specific data on truck accident cases. If anyone knows of any data in Maryland or in any other state, please let me know.
