Friday, February 5th, 2010

Our lastest summary of recent jury verdicts and settlements after the break.  But first, links to articles about jury awards in employment cases and EEOC claims statistics:

Awards in employment law claims – A study shows that the median jury award for employment law claims was $326,000 in 2008, which is an increase of about 60%.  The median settlement amount was reported at $90,000.  The same study reports that retaliation claims were awarded the most money, and age and disability discrimination claims received higher jury awards than sex and race discrimination claims.

Summary of EEOC claims statistics – This article provides statistics on the increase in EEOC charges from 2007 to 2008, as well as the total amount of money collected by the agency as a result of the charges.
