Personal Injury Case Values in Tennessee (2026)

Personal Injury verdicts and settlements in Tennessee show a notably high median outcome of $2.9M across the tracked cases, suggesting that cases reaching resolution involve severe injuries or significant liability exposure despite the state's generally defense-favorable jury climate. The range of $2.0M to $3.7M indicates meaningful variability driven by case-specific factors such as defendant type and injury severity, with the trucking case yielding a substantially higher outcome than the premises liability matter. However, Tennessee's $750,000 non-economic damages cap likely compresses overall recovery potential, meaning these high-value outcomes are predominantly anchored by substantial economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages rather than pain and suffering awards.
