As we have written before, many rotator cuff car accident cases - particularly surgery cases - are appealing in front of juries and have good settlement value. But jury trials are crap shoots even in good venues. This is an article/post in a New York case where the defendant offered $65,000 and the case went to trial and the jury awarded $5,000 in pain and suffering. The appellate court did what a Maryland court would not do - raised the pain and suffering award to $50,000.
The article indicates that the average rotator cuff case in New York falls into the $150,000 to $300,000 range. I have written elsewhere on rotator cuff settlement values nationally and rotator cuff settlements in Maryland.
