Award rates are down at all levels. Here is how awards by administrative law judges (hearings) have taken a free fall since 2010. Award rates by year:
2010 62%
2011 58%
2012 53%
2013 48%
2014 45%
2015 42%*
No one knows why the award rates bottomed out or if the free fall is over. The usual suspects are Congressional pressure and hostile media coverage.
