Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Statistics

| No Comments
The Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Blog noted a few years ago on a study indicating that the median (not average)settlement and verdict in Maryland for wrongful death medical malpractice cases over the last 20 years is $900,000. This is far more than the verdicts in Maryland's sister jurisdictions, Virginia and Washington D.C, which have medians of $750,000 and $665,700.

The median medical malpractice jury award in Maryland, according to Jury Verdict Research, is $500,000.  But this was seven years ago (last data I could find). Verdicts that year ranged from $54,521 to $7,708,064.   My guess is the average verdict is over $1,000,000.  

JVR also provides other interesting median verdict data elsewhere: Florida - $1,257,386; New York - $1,100,000; Pennsylvania - $1,000,000; Ohio - $850,000; Indiana - $750,000; Missouri - $694,000; North Carolina - $500,000.
