Favorability to Plaintiff:

3 (Moderately Unfavorable)

Summary:

An oil-dependent, tight-knit West Texas venue shaped by boom-bust cycles and a conservative workforce, Crane seats juries that are protective of local industry and generally defense-oriented. Limited local PI resources and there are no notable plaintiff verdicts on the books, so we apply Permian Basin averages to gauge outcomes. While jurors may show some empathy in oilfield-injury cases, awards tend to be low; overall, the county’s rural, conservative profile makes it an unfavorable forum for plaintiffs.
