Illinois Malpractice Settlement Amounts and Law

This page is about Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits, how they work and the settlement amounts and jury payouts victims see.

Sample settlements and verdicts are useful tools in conjunction with other tools to help victims better understand at least the range of values in a medical malpractice case. Clearly, no two cases are the same, and you cannot summarize a case in a paragraph.

Sometimes, I have tried or settled cases where there is no way I could summarize the case in a way that would explain why the plaintiff won or why the verdict was as high or low as it was. Said differently, reading these is important and education in understanding the value of medical malpractice claims in Illinois but you can only learn so much from these.

Maine Injury Settlements and Verdicts

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Ten years ago, I posted data showing the average personal injury verdict in Maine was approximately $27,000. These numbers do not tend to change much historically. So my guess is the average personal injury settlement in Maine is between $10,000 and $20,000.

But you have to understand how useless that is if you have a personal injury claim in Maine and you are trying to calculate or predict your settlement compensation payout.

Sample settlements and verdicts are not necessarily much better at projecting settlement amounts. But these are weapons you can use to better understand potential settlement compensation for an injury case in Maine.

Vermont Injury Verdicts and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page delves into settlement amounts and jury payouts in personal injury cases in Vermont. Our attorneys also provide an analysis of Vermont personal injury law that you need to know if you are bringing a lawsuit.

If you are a victim of personal injury filing a compensation claim in Vermont, you are certainly interested in understanding the potential range of settlement payouts for your claim. Why? Because the ultimate goal of a personal injury or wrongful death claim is financial compensation. This page is designed to analyze how personal injury cases have been resolved in Vermont, giving you the ability to align your claim with Vermont personal injury settlement statistics and example settlements and jury payouts.

But tread carefully. Comparing two similar cases and expecting the same outcome make sense in theory. But the cases rarely line up as they seem to. Each case is unique and often the driving factors behind a settlement payout cannot be encapsulated in a case summary. But analyzing similar cases and statistics does offer you more insight into the potential value of your injury claim. That is why we’ve collated and presented this information to you. So you can learn from example settlements as long as you take them with a bucket of salt.
