Personal Injury Case Values in Texas (2026)

Personal Injury verdicts and settlements in Texas demonstrate significant variability, with outcomes ranging from $2.5M to $40.1M and a mean of $12.9M substantially exceeding the median of $8.3M, indicating that high-value outlier cases like Kulik v. Stallion Production Svcs. ($40.1M) are skewing the overall average upward. Despite Texas juries being traditionally defense-favorable, the 2024 case data suggests plaintiffs are securing substantial recoveries particularly in commercial and occupational liability contexts, where corporate defendants and clear negligence narratives may be overcoming typical jury conservatism. The gap between mean and median also suggests that case-specific factors such as defendant type, injury severity, and liability clarity play a decisive role in determining whether a case resolves near the median range or achieves an exceptional outcome.
