The below slides list the top 20 legal settlements by category paid out by the City of Providence in 2014. Each slide lists the category of settlement, the number of cases, and the total amount paid out. Settlement categories are listed in order of the total amount, from least to greatest. Note that there are two main types of settlements: those that resolve a lawsuit and those that are in response to legal claims—usually for small amounts—that are filed with the City of Providence instead in a court.
Note that the amounts paid out for smaller claims and in lawsuits are tallied separately. (For example there are two slides for slip and falls. One for settlements resulting from lawsuits and one for settlements paid out in response to a legal claim filed with the city.) Each slide indicates whether the cases involved were legal claims or lawsuits. Data were obtained from a response to a public records request.
