How We Collect and Verify Settlement Data
Transparency is at the core of Verdictly. We believe you should understand exactly how our data is sourced, verified, and presented.
Our Data Sources
Verdictly aggregates data from multiple authoritative sources to build a comprehensive picture of Texas car accident outcomes.
Texas Court Records
We systematically collect case outcomes from Texas district courts, county courts, and appellate records. This includes jury verdicts, bench trial decisions, and documented settlements.
Public Filings & Judgments
Court filings, final judgments, and docket entries provide the foundation for each case record. We verify amounts against official court documents.
Attorney Disclosures
Attorneys who participate in our data program voluntarily share anonymized case outcomes, helping expand our dataset with settlements that don't appear in public records.
Verdict Reporters
We cross-reference our findings with established legal verdict reporters and databases to ensure accuracy and fill gaps in our primary research.
Our Verification Process
Every case in our database goes through a rigorous verification workflow.
Source Verification
Every case entry is traced back to its original source—court record, attorney disclosure, or verdict reporter. We maintain citation links for transparency.
Data Normalization
Raw data is normalized into consistent categories for injury type, accident type, county, and outcome. This enables meaningful comparisons across cases.
Accuracy Review
Settlement amounts, verdict values, and case details undergo manual review. Outliers and anomalies are flagged for additional verification.
Ongoing Updates
Our database is continuously updated as new cases are filed and resolved. We also revisit older entries when new information becomes available.
Current Data Coverage
Our database spans multiple years and all 254 Texas counties.
Important Limitations
Not all settlements are public. Many car accident cases settle confidentially. Our database captures publicly available data, which may skew toward larger verdicts that go to trial.
Past results don't guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique. Settlement values depend on specific facts, evidence quality, attorney skill, insurance coverage, and many other factors.
This is not legal advice. Verdictly provides informational data to help you understand typical case outcomes. Always consult with a qualified attorney for advice specific to your situation.
Data may contain errors. Despite our verification process, errors can occur. If you identify an inaccuracy, please contact us so we can investigate.
