Jury Verdict Search Pricing for VerdictSearch, Lexis and Westlaw
Valuing a personal injury case means pulling comparable verdicts, and every database prices that differently: a flat term, a per-report fee, a day pass or a researcher who runs the search for you. Here is what each one costs today, and the cost at 12 and 50 valuations a year.
In short
Jury verdict search costs anywhere from 95 dollars for a one-day pass to several thousand dollars a year for a subscription. VerdictSearch, the largest national reporter, stopped publishing prices in mid 2025; its last public solo plan was 125 dollars a month on a one year term. Lexis Verdict & Settlement Analyzer is free inside plans that include it and 125 dollars per report outside them. Westlaw verdicts depend on your plan. JuryVerdictAlert sells California passes at 95, 295 and 395 dollars, and CaseMetrix runs searches for you at 499 or 699 dollars each. None of these tell you whether an award survives appeal; that is case law, which Cases searches for 49 dollars a month. This is informational research, not legal advice.
How we checked this. Every vendor page was read on 2 October 2026, with an invented URL requested on each site to confirm that missing pages really return an error. VerdictSearch's plans page now redirects to a quote form, so its last published price comes from the Internet Archive capture of 28 May 2025. Lexis figures come from the LexisNexis Small Legal price schedule, which lists transactional prices for content outside a flat-rate plan. The VerdictSearch day pass figure is a store listing we could only see through search results, so it is marked as reported.

The national reporter
VerdictSearch pricing after the price list came down
Until May 2025, VerdictSearch had a public plans page. Its headline offer was a Solo Attorney plan: one year of access billed at 125 dollars a month, unlimited cases up to 200 a day, more than 15 search criteria and a billing calculator, for new solo customers only. Firms of five or more attorneys, insurers and litigation funders were already on quotes.
The Internet Archive shows that page turning into a redirect on 28 May 2025. Today the same URL lands on a contact form headed "Request a custom pricing quote for your team". The product itself has not changed much: ALM still describes it as 210,000+ cases with national and state coverage, updated daily, and still points out that it asks both the winning and the opposing attorney for details of each result.
Two other ways in exist. A VerdictSearch day pass has been listed at 395 dollars on the LexisNexis store (reported, we could not read the listing directly), and Research on Call puts a VerdictSearch researcher on your question with same-day results, priced on request.

The big platforms
Lexis Verdict and Settlement Analyzer and Westlaw verdict search costs
LexisNexis is the one big platform that prints its out-of-plan prices. Its Small Legal price schedule, in effect since 5 December 2023, lists the Verdict & Settlement Analyzer at 125 dollars per report. A single jury verdict document opened outside your plan falls in the Tier 2 secondary materials category at 53 dollars, and the schedule also carries a 60 dollar system access charge on the activities LexisNexis lists in its help files. Inside a plan that includes the Analyzer, none of that applies.
LexisNexis describes the Analyzer as its largest verdict collection, more than 1.6 million records, with dashboards of award ranges and about 500 injury filters. For a firm that already pays for Lexis+, the first question is simply whether it is in the contract. Our LexisNexis solo practitioner pricing page has the store plans by term if you are pricing Lexis+ from scratch.
Westlaw carries a Jury Verdicts & Settlements database, and Thomson Reuters publishes no separate price for it. Whether those documents are in plan or billed per document depends on your subscription, which is exactly the line to confirm in writing before a paralegal runs twenty searches on a new case. The plans themselves start at 256.75 dollars a month for a solo on the TR store, broken down on our Westlaw solo pricing page.

ยง COST
What verdict research costs at 12 and at 50 valuations a year
Volume decides the winner. A per-report price looks cheap on one case and expensive on fifty. Our arithmetic on the prices above, one search per valuation, before tax and before any negotiated discount.
12 valuations a year
50 valuations a year
Read the rows with their limits. The VerdictSearch figure uses the last published solo rate, so a current quote may differ. JuryVerdictAlert covers California only; at 50 valuations a year a monthly pass for every month (12 times 395 dollars) is the cheaper route. CaseMetrix is a done-for-you search with receipts you can bill to the client, so on a contingency case the real cost can land in the settlement statement rather than on the firm.
Regional and done-for-you options
JuryVerdictAlert passes and CaseMetrix per-search pricing
JuryVerdictAlert is the cheapest real verdict research we found, and it is honest about its scope: California state and federal civil courts, plus binding arbitration results, reported by attorneys and checked with opposing counsel where possible. It sells unlimited searching by time, not by subscription: 95 dollars for 24 hours, 295 for seven days, 395 for a month, bought by card with no contract.
CaseMetrix sells a different thing: a researcher runs the search and sends the results. A standard search is 499 dollars. Death, catastrophic injury, sexual assault, or a corporate or trucking defendant is 699. Same-day rush adds 99 dollars, there is no fee for a search that finds nothing, and you get receipts so the cost can go to the client file. Subscriptions exist and are quoted by users and databases.
Honest fit, including when to skip it
Which jury verdict search fits your practice
| Practice | Buy | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Plaintiff PI firm valuing cases every week, any state | VerdictSearch quote | Unlimited searching on a flat term beats any per-report price once you pass a dozen valuations a year. Ask whether the old solo rate, or something near it, is still available before you accept a multi-user quote. |
| Firm already on Lexis+ that values a few cases a year | Lexis Analyzer, check your plan first | If the Analyzer is in your plan it costs nothing extra. If it is not, 125 a report adds up to the price of a VerdictSearch year at about 12 reports. |
| Firm already on Westlaw | Use what you pay for | Ask your rep whether the Jury Verdicts & Settlements content is inside your plan. Out-of-plan documents bill separately, and that is the surprise line on many Westlaw invoices. |
| California practice with an occasional valuation | JuryVerdictAlert pass | A 95 dollar day pass is the cheapest real verdict research we found, and coverage is California only, so it only fits California cases. |
| Southeast auto or premises firm that wants the work done | CaseMetrix per search | You pay for a researcher, not a login. Receipts let you pass the cost to the client file, which matters more than the sticker price on a contingency case. |
| Defense or insurance team arguing an award is excessive | Add case law search | Verdict reporters show what juries awarded. Whether an award survives remittitur or appeal is decided in published opinions, which is a case law search job. |
Before any sales call, count last year's valuations. That single number tells you whether you are a per-report buyer or a subscription buyer, and it is the number every vendor's quote is quietly built around.
Two different questions
A verdict reporter shows the award, case law shows whether it holds
Verdict databases answer one question well: what have juries awarded for injuries like this one? They do not answer the next one, which every serious valuation runs into. Will a large award survive a motion for remittitur or new trial, and has the appellate court in your jurisdiction cut awards like it before? That answer sits in published opinions reviewing damages, and those are case law, not verdict reports.
That is the part Cases does. Ask in plain English, for example which appellate decisions in your state have reduced pain and suffering awards as excessive, and read the federal and state opinions that come back, each with a citation you can open. We do not report verdicts, we do not track dockets and we have no citator, so check every citation in a citator before you file. For trial-level filings, our Trellis case search cost page covers state court docket research, and the appellate court case search page shows how to find the reviewing decisions.

Questions buyers ask
Jury verdict search pricing questions
How much does VerdictSearch cost?
VerdictSearch no longer publishes a price. Its plans page now redirects to a quote form. The last published plan, archived in May 2025, was a Solo Attorney plan at 125 dollars a month on a one year term with unlimited cases, capped at 200 cases a day, for new solo customers only. Firms of five or more attorneys were always quoted.
Is VerdictSearch free?
No. VerdictSearch is a paid database owned by ALM, the publisher of Law.com. A day pass has been listed at 395 dollars on the LexisNexis store, and annual access is quoted by the VerdictSearch sales team. You can browse featured verdicts on the site, but full case reports need a subscription.
How much is Lexis Verdict and Settlement Analyzer?
It is included at no extra charge if your Lexis plan contains it. If it does not, the LexisNexis Small Legal price schedule lists Verdict & Settlement Analyzer at 125 dollars per report, and individual jury verdict documents outside your plan at 53 dollars each. Ask your rep which applies before you run a search.
Does Westlaw include jury verdicts?
Westlaw carries a Jury Verdicts & Settlements database, but whether you can open those documents without an extra charge depends on your plan. Thomson Reuters publishes no separate price for it. Before you rely on it, ask your rep in writing whether verdict content is in plan or billed per document.
What is the best jury verdict search for personal injury attorneys?
For a firm valuing cases in many states every month, a flat VerdictSearch subscription is usually the best value. Firms already on Lexis+ should check whether the Verdict & Settlement Analyzer is in their plan. California practices can use JuryVerdictAlert passes, and Southeast auto firms can buy done-for-you searches from CaseMetrix.
Can I search jury verdicts by state?
Yes. VerdictSearch filters by state, county and court with more than 15 search criteria. Lexis and Westlaw filter by jurisdiction. Regional reporters are narrower by design: JuryVerdictAlert covers California only, and CaseMetrix is strongest for motor vehicle and premises cases in the Southeastern states.
Is there a cheaper alternative to VerdictSearch?
For occasional use, yes. A JuryVerdictAlert day pass costs 95 dollars for California cases, and a Lexis Analyzer report is 125 dollars out of plan. For frequent use, nothing per report beats a flat subscription. If the question is whether an award holds up on appeal, case law search at 49 dollars a month answers it.
How do lawyers use jury verdict research?
Lawyers pull comparable verdicts and settlements to value a case, set a settlement demand, decide whether to try a case, and show a mediator or adjuster a defensible range. Defense counsel and insurers use the same data to reserve claims and to argue that a demand or an award is out of line with comparable outcomes.
You have the verdicts. Now find the decisions that test them.
Ask a damages question in plain English and read the US federal and state opinions it returns, with citations you can open. 49 dollars a month, month to month, no sales call.
