In simple English

This repository gives you a clean list of thousands of real personal injury lawsuits from across the United States. Each row shows the state, year, injury type, and dollar amount for a court verdict or settlement. You can download the records as a CSV file to study them in spreadsheet programs or Python. The data is free to use for research or your own projects if you credit the source. It costs nothing to download and needs no special server setup.

What it is

A publicly available dataset containing 17,611 personal injury case results from 1973 to 2026, formatted as CSV and JSON files. It includes helper scripts and documentation so you can load the data directly into data analysis tools.

What it is good for

Solo builders and researchers who need real legal finance data to train models, build legal calculators, or study trends in court payouts.

Good
  • Includes over seventeen thousand structured records with states, years, and dollar amounts.
  • Available in both CSV and JSON formats for easy loading into Python or Node.
  • Published under a CC BY 4.0 licence, making it free for commercial and research use.
Watch for
  • Dataset leans toward notable and high-value awards, so median amounts are much higher than typical everyday claims.
  • Requires basic programming or data analysis skills to load and filter the raw files.
  • Data must be attributed to SetCalc whenever you use it in public applications.
Replaces
