Attorney Don Loose highlights some of the largest civil verdicts awarded in 2024. Arizona juries and judges awarded $294 million in civil verdicts. By comparison, in 2023, $76 million was awarded. In 2024, plaintiffs won 53% of the time, defendants won 45% of the time, and the remainder of cases were basically even. Oftentimes verdicts become so large when the jury orders punitive damages above and beyond actual damages. Punitive damages punish a party for egregious conduct. In the appeals process, these punitive damages can be modified, but when hit with damages in the millions, large corporations pay through insurance and “deep pockets”. When an individual loses a case and is faced with paying very large judgments, those fees may end up being uncollectible.
