Settlements and verdicts FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
A settlement is an agreement that resolves a claim, usually for a payment, without a trial decision. A verdict is the decision a jury or judge reaches after a trial, and it can still be reduced or appealed afterward. Each result on this page is labeled as a settlement or a verdict.
No. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome, and every case is different. What a case is worth depends on the injuries and future care, lost income, who was at fault and the insurance or assets available to pay. Our guides to brain injury case value and motorcycle accident case value explain how these factors work, and a free case review can apply them to your situation.
No. We have resolved more than 20,000 settlements, and this page shows a selection that we refresh periodically. Confidential settlements are never published, and results never include client names.
It depends on the case. Each amount on this page is the total settlement or verdict. Before the client is paid, three things come out of that total: the attorney fee, which is a percentage of the recovery set out in the client’s written contingency fee agreement; case costs, such as filing fees, medical records, depositions and expert witnesses; and liens owed to doctors, hospitals or health plans that paid for treatment, including Medicare and Medi-Cal. Liens can sometimes be reduced through negotiation.
The client receives what remains, along with a written accounting of every deduction. In a class action, the court must approve attorney fees and costs before class members are paid.
Nothing up front. Wilshire Law Firm works on contingency, so there are no fees unless you get paid. Case reviews are free and available 24/7.
