Settlement explorer

Every settlement the council approved 2018–2026, classified by claim type (a language model reads each resolution — see About). One legal case can produce several papers (a settlement resolution plus the ordinance funding it); papers covering the same case are collapsed into one, so the money totals here don't double-count. In 12 settled cases the money flows to the city (e.g. suits the city brought against manufacturers) — those are listed under city recovery ($7.6M) and excluded from the paid-out total.

By claim category

"Motor-vehicle" cuts across categories: a city-vehicle collision always involves a vehicle, but so do some roadway-liability crashes and a few police-vehicle cases. In city recovery cases the money flows to the city, not from it — that row is money received, and it's excluded from the "total paid out" headline above.

By fiscal year

Atlanta's fiscal year runs July–June (FY2026 = Jul 2025–Jun 2026); cases are dated by the day the paper first appeared before council. Each FY links to this page filtered to that year. "Total paid" excludes city-recovery money, matching the headline above. This table always shows all years, whatever period is selected.

Every mapped incident, filterable by category — the category chips and the fiscal-year picker above also drive the paper list below the map (unmapped papers included there). Marker size scales with the settlement amount; boundaries are current council districts.
