2. This is what the tool looks like when you first access it.
3. Remember that you can narrow your search before running it by jurisdiction. I chose to narrow my search by Florida. This can be especially useful when you're looking for information on cases decided within your specific jurisdiction.
4. At this point, you can also narrow your search by practice area/topic. This can be useful if you know specifically the area of law you're working on.
5. Once you've placed your initial filters (if any), run your search for the type of injury or issue you're interested in. I ran a search for dog bites.
6. The results will generate graphs and charts of various types organizing the information so that you can easily and quickly compare and contrast verdicts and settlements on that area. 
7. If you scroll down the page, you'll find the case headings for all the cases pulled into the graphs. These headings give the title, jurisdiction, year, etc.
8. Remember, also, that you can narrow your search results further by resolution, amount, injury type, etc.Labels: charts, comparison, dog bite, filters, Florida, graphs, lexis advance, LexisNexis, settlement, verdicts
