You can now use the damages analytics feature on Westlaw's litigation analytics to identify damages awarded in a particular jurisdiction. To use this feature, select the "Courts" search option, then enter the court for which you would like to view damages data. For example, you could enter "United States District Court, N.D. California" to view damages data from this federal court. Click the "Damages" tab to view damage amounts for that court. You can filter by case type, judge, damages type, damages amount, party, and date. This data can be useful in determining the value of a case, performing a cost-benefit analysis to decide whether to continue with litigation, or helping to craft your settlement negotiations.
