Will McBride and I would like to thank Medivisuals for the half-dozen medical illustrations they provided for us on our most recent case. When settlement offers were originally being discussed the insurer would not increase their offer above $250,000 before trial. The color medical illustrations with companion imaging films enabled the medical experts to engage with the jury to teach them about the nature and extent of the injuries and surgeries needed from the trauma. The Medivisual exhibits enabled the experts to simplify the complex and complicated injury issues confronting the jury, which returned a $7 million verdict a bit more than the defense pre-trial offers of $250,000. With us being in the “show” not “tell” business, the illustrations from Medivisuals enabled us to abbreviate the trial from 7 to 3 days of jury time. The jury returned our respect for their time with their verdict.
