Virginia Lawyers Weekly is pleased to present the “Million Dollar Settlements of 2008,” our first annual compilation of big settlements from across the commonwealth. As in past years, our criteria for the list are simple:
1. The settlement must be for at least $1 million.
2. The settlement involved a dispute based in Virginia.
3. The settlement was reached in calendar year 2008.
We have also included three settlements from 2007 that appeared in 2008 in the Verdicts & Settlements section.
If we have missed any million-dollar settlements from 2008, please let us know. We’ll be glad to add that information to the online version of the story so it can be complete as possible. And during the coming year, we would greatly appreciate hearing about verdicts that will make it on next year’s list. |
