settlement
Are there databases of case-level lawsuit settlement amounts?
<p>I am looking for case-level settlement information (amounts, time it took, etc) for an academic research project. I'm not picky on the specific area of law -- any area would be fine, provided that I can observe the actual settlement amounts, the initial claimed damages, and the timelines.</p>

<p>Both <a href="https://legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/westlaw/jury-verdicts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Westlaw</a> and <a href="https://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/products/verdict-and-settlement-analyzer.page" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LexisNexis</a> have large databases of verdicts and settlements, with national coverage.</p>

<p>There are disclosure databases for medical malpractice settlements, and class action lawsuit settlements. Government lawsuit (against or by the government) settlement usually have to be a matter of public record.</p>
<p>Complete and representative databases of other private party lawsuit settlements are hard to obtain because most settlements make the terms of the settlement and its amount confidential.</p>
