Favorability to Plaintiff:

3 (Moderately Unfavorable)

Summary:

A tiny, oil-dependent West Texas venue with a conservative base and few resident PI lawyers, Reagan has virtually no local verdict history, so we rely on Permian proxy data. Panels are industry-centric and strongly favor local oil interests, producing a clear defense bias and keeping awards tight. Juries are conservative and skeptical of large damages, making the county less favorable to plaintiffs and a difficult place to secure high numbers even on solid liability.
