Personal Injury Case Values in Tennessee (2026)

Personal Injury verdicts and settlements in Tennessee show a narrow but substantial range of $2.0M to $3.7M across the tracked cases, with a median and mean both converging at $2.9M, suggesting relatively consistent valuation in higher-stakes matters. Despite Tennessee's generally defense-favorable jury climate and a $750,000 non-economic damages cap, these outcomes indicate that cases involving significant economic damages — such as medical expenses, lost wages, and future care costs — can still yield multi-million dollar results. The gap between the 2017 trucking case ($3.7M) and the 2025 apartment negligence case ($2.0M) reflects how defendant type, industry liability exposure, and case-specific facts meaningfully influence final outcomes even within the same jurisdiction.
