Why Averages Can Be Misleading

Average settlement statistics include everything from minor fender benders to catastrophic injuries, making them poor predictors for individual cases.

  • Wide range of injury severity
  • Different insurance limits
  • Varying liability situations
  • State law differences
  • Urban vs rural variations
