National federal civil docket · FY2024 · AOUSC Judicial Business C-3
Motor-vehicle injury
Injury claims from vehicle accidents.
5,868 such civil cases were commenced in the U.S. district courts in fiscal year 2024 — 2% of the entire federal civil docket, the #9 largest of 15 case categories.
Who is a party?
How these cases divide between matters where the U.S. government is a party and matters between private parties. The U.S.-vs-private split is AOUSC Judicial Business Table C-3's own party classification — whether the United States is a party to the case (as plaintiff or defendant).
Where these cases concentrate
The U.S. district courts with the most motor-vehicle injury filings. Some categories cluster heavily (intellectual property, for instance) while others track population.
Other case types on the docket
RECORDED — the case counts are cases commenced in FY2024, published in the AOUSC Judicial Business Table C-3. DERIVED — the national share, the government-vs-private split, and the per-district ranking.
What this is — and is not
These are counts of motor-vehicle injury cases filed in FY2024, not outcomes — they do not measure who won, the merit of any claim, or how your own case would fare, and they are not legal advice. For your matter, consult an attorney; for free civil legal aid, see the providers in your state. Source: Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts — Judicial Business, Table C-3.
