Greedy Trial Lawyer
On Exactly Which Planet Is The Average Negligence Verdict $3 Million?
Category: News Defused
West Virginia County Feels The Pain Of Lawyers' Greed is an article written by Steven Maggi and posted on Pardon My English.
Steven Maggi is the President of Aanko Technologies, Inc., a Homeland Security Consulting firm. Steve is a graduate of the University of Southern California's School of Public Policy, with an M.P.A. in Intergovernmental Management. A 15-year veteran of policy and outreach work, he was awarded "Best in Public Education" from the United States Conference of Mayors for his work with the City of Burbank, CA.
Well, it certainly seems like Steven is extremely well qualified to expound on this subject. But, Steven leaves the planet behind with this whopper:
According to the Insurance Journal, in the year 2000, the average jury verdict award was over 1 million dollars, or almost 250 percent higher than it was just five years before. In personal negligence cases, the average award exceeds $3 million.
In my greediest dreams I have never imagined personal negligence cases averaging over $3 million. All I can say is that my entire career has been a real downward drag on the national average. Is it possible that Steven is hyping the numbers a tad?
