Employment Discrimination Verdicts On The Rise
According to a 2008 Jury Verdict Research, employment discrimination verdicts have been on the rise and in favor of plaintiffs' cases. Most employment cases settle out of court, but on those cases that do go to trial, jury verdicts have risen.
• In 2007, the median discrimination verdict rose some 70 percent to $252,000 from $147,000 in 2006.
• Employers won only 38 percent of discrimination cases in 2007, prevailing most often in race discrimination cases (43 percent) and losing most frequently in sex discrimination cases (30 percent).
• Employers in the manufacturing and industrial sectors had the biggest verdicts, followed by the government, transportation and service sectors.
