What is the average discrimination settlement?

The median EEOC settlement is approximately $40,000–60,000, but cases with strong facts (written evidence, multiple victims, high earner) can reach $200,000–$1,000,000+. Jury verdicts are higher but less predictable.

What are the statutory damages caps under Title VII?

Title VII and ADA cap compensatory and punitive damages based on employer size: $50,000 (under 101 employees) to $300,000 (over 500 employees). Back pay and front pay are uncapped.
