Data and press
What the verified results show, the dataset behind them, and who to ask. Every result on ProvenVerdicts is checked against court records and news coverage before it is published, and every figure here links to the write-up and sources behind it.
What the 2026 list shows
12 of the 17 jury verdicts in the Top 20 of 2026 are on appeal, were reduced after trial, or cannot be collected.
- Together they account for $4.61 billion of the $5.24 billion the 17 verdicts add up to (88 percent).
- Of those, 7 are on appeal or still open to post-trial challenge, 2 were reduced after trial and 5 were won against a defendant who is uninsured, bankrupt, closed or in prison; 2 fall in two groups. See the uncollectable results
- None of the 17 verdicts are confirmed paid in full. Most never say: settlements after a verdict are usually confidential, and courts rarely record whether a judgment was satisfied.
As of November 9, 2026. Every verdict still ranks at the amount that legally stood, with its label. How outcomes are labeled

The dataset
One file holds every verified personal injury result on the site, 2,079 cases today, one row per case. Amounts are given as the figure that legally stood, beside what was first awarded when a court cut it, with each result's outcome after trial and whether it was collected. It is a CSV (UTF-8) that opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
Results are added as they are verified, and labels change as appeals resolve, so the file is built from the live site each time it is requested. Fill in the form and we email it to you at once.
