TORT LITIGATION
March 2001 -- AOC Research Review -- 5
Tort Litigation Information Extracted from Another Brick in the Wall: An Empirical Look at Georgia Tort Litigation in the 1990's
by T. Eaton, S. Talarico, and R. Dunn
Another Brick in the Wall: An Empirical Look at Georgia Tort Litigation in the 1990's, written by Eaton, Talarico, and Dunn, explores tort litigation trends in superior and state courts. Data was collected in the superior courts between 1994 and 1997 in Bibb, Cobb, Fulton, Gwinnett, Irwin, and Oconee Counties. Additionally, data was collected from Cobb and Gwinnett County State Courts. Fulton County State Court data was obtained for 1995-1997 only.
The final data set included 25,561 tort cases filed in the state and superior courts of the six counties between 1994 and 1997. Of the 25,561 cases filed, 7,881 were filed in the six superior courts and 17,680 were filed in the three state courts.
Tort cases accounted for 5.1% of the civil filings in the six superior courts studied. Tort cases were 7.2% of civil filings in the three urban state courts.
Automobile accidents accounted for more than twothirds of all tort claims filed. They were 55.8% of tort claims filed in the six superior courts followed by: premises liability (14%), intentional torts (10.9%), professional malpractice (6.4%), products liability (3.4%), and other (9.5%). In state courts, automobile accidents were 71.9% followed by premises liability (9.2%), intentional torts (8.6%), professional malpractice (2.8%), products liability (2.4%), and other (5.1%). Automobile accident filings were a larger percentage of tort filings in the rural courts than in the urban courts sampled.
Jury trials resolved 4.3% of the tort cases disposed in superior courts and 3.6% of state court torts.
An average of 55.5% of the tort cases filed in the six superior courts in 1994-1996 were disposed within two years of filing. The three state courts had an average of 78.3% of tort cases being disposed within two years.
Compensatory awards were usually modest, although the awards ranged from $1 to $14,915,670. Punitive damages awards ranged from $100 to $750,000, and were awarded by judges more frequently than by jurors in both state and superior courts. Plaintiffs prevailed in over 50% of the tort jury trials in both superior and state courts and in over 70% of the bench trials.
Eaton, Talarico, and Dunn found the results of this study to be consistent with those of their first study. Over the eight years of the data collected, tort claims account for less than ten percent of total civil filings. Automobile accident claims were the most prevalent type of tort, and awards were usually modest. The addition of state court filings in the second study increased previous estimates of tort filings per 100,000 persons in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Additionally in the urban counties, a greater number of tort cases were brought in the state courts than in the superior courts.

STATE COURT CASELOAD
March 2001 -- AOC Research Review -- 7
State Court reporting is dependent on voluntary submission of information by the clerk of court.
In 1999, 53 of the 68 counties reported (78%) compared to 58 of the 68 counties (85%) in 1998.
Traffic cases were 68% of all reported cases, compared to 60% of the cases reported in 1998.
In 1999, courts disposed of 552,435 of the 622,150 (89%) filed cases, compared to 553,140 of the 712,029 (78%) of disposed cases in 1998.
The decrease in open cases from 131,984 in 1998, to 87,002 in 1999, represents a decrease of nearly 34%. This decrease may be the result of some of the larger counties not reporting open caseloads.

JUVENILE COURT CASELOAD
Juvenile court reporting is not mandatory, therefore, reporting is not complete. The number of courts and the specific ones reporting affect the data displayed each year.
In 1999, 146 of 159 courts reported caseload, compared to 149 of 159 courts reported in 1998.
The caseload of superior court judges sitting as juvenile court judges was collected by the District Court Administrators, and for this number of courts the reporting is complete.
For the first time, termination of parental rights was segregated as a separate case type. Although not all counties reported terminations separately, 1,487 were reported.
Filings decreased from 129,423 in 1998 to 125,777 in 1999. This decrease may be due to a slightly smaller number of courts that reported.
Delinquent cases are 50% of all the cases filed. In 1998, delinquent cases were 51% of all cases filed. This represents an 1% decrease.
In 1999, courts disposed of 111,839 of the 125,234 cases filed. Eighty-nine percent of the cases were disposed.
The increase of open cases from 23,613 in 1998, to 25,773 in 1999, represents an increase of 9%.

The Research and Court Services Division of the Administrative Office of the Courts compiles and maintains caseload and demographic data for the court system. Reports of caseload statistics and trends are available. It also prepares memoranda, surveys, assessments and evaluations either routinely or upon request. Examples are the judgeship study for superior courts, circuit boundary studies, creation of state courts, pilot court evaluations for the Judicial Council and compensation comparisons for each level of court. Other areas of expertise include case, records and jury management issues.
