While the number of cases being tried at the First Judicial District continue to fall for the third year in a row, the amount plaintiffs took home in 2015 was a 60 percent drop from what juries awarded the year before.
According to court statistics focusing on trials held in Philadelphia in 2015, a total of 177 major jury cases were tried to verdict in the FJD last year, and juries awarded nearly $109 million to plaintiffs. That is a 9 percent decline over the 195 cases tried in 2014, and a 60 percent drop in money awarded to plaintiffs.
